NB Do you have a separate thread for your '20 in 500' ?
And, not to get excited, but with Matt and Bambo doing well this week, and Lloyd too, and Neil, why not, and Gabb and Dave Rice very close, (and cuckoo JWH, anyone out there?) and Toby - get better soon - and anyone else who feels like joining the party (Evan ? Scott ? Billy ?), it's looking more promising than it has for a while......
Add - and have a sneaking feeling that Robbie Ridout is about to make a move some time pretty soon . . .

Loving your positive vibes CD. Let's not forget Farris and Cameron in the more medium term, once their college duties are over.
I think my thread got immersed in a more general thread about rankings somewhere in the General section.
F: Joe Salisbury WR 713 vs Mikael Ymer (SWE) WR 745
Close on paper, but to be honest Ymer is a red hot Junior and will be a difficult opponent to beat. I don't expect Joe to win - but I'd love to see him prove me wrong!!
A good day for Joe has just got even better as he and Irish partner David O'Hare taken the doubles final against Dave R and his own Irish partner, Sam Barry.

Well, Mikael won when they played last week - but it was three sets and very close (although only saw chunks of it on the livestream, not the whole thing).

Good for Joe and David to win the doubles title in Sweden for the second successive week. Last week's title should edge them up a bit in Monday's rankings and this one fully defends their 27 title points from this week last year.
It was a tight final :
(1) David O'Hare (IRL) & Joe Salisbury CR 505 (231+274) beat (2) Sam Barry (IRL) & David Rice CR 549 (251+298)

Joe started off well against Ymer last week too - youngsters often have a bit of trouble with serve and volleyers at first because they're not used to them.
But Ymer seems to have found his feet quicker this time and has now broken Joe twice.
