Excellent - presumably he gets to play on Xmas day now !

The QF's might be today? The OOP has 8 courts in use for the Men and Women's events. Matches 1 and 2 on all courts were Last 16 matches and Match 4 is all doubles QF's. No Match 3 listed. So unless it is bad formatting the match 3 across all courts might be the QF's?

Well done Billy, expecting Bob on the other line in a few minutes!
Been there already. But not quite for what you expected.
Another very good win for Billy but he needs to start following up his excellent wins, with more victories. In his last two tournaments (from memory) he has had fantastic wins in R1 and then lost winnable matches in R2.
So his nomination will have to wait for now. Let's see if he can progress further.

That's what I wanted.

Nope: they play in the morning.

And so Xmas has arrived. As you will all know, I am not a Xmas person. I find the whole thing boring. No live sport to watch, same old films on TV etc.

But this morning I woke up slightly more positive thinking at least I could spend an hour or two following Billy's match on live scores. But, no. He's spoiled that already. Just checked and he has already stormed to another 0&2 victory.

So well done Billy, even though you've completely disrupted my Xmas morning plans.

He's on fire this week. Come on Billy. Two more wins for your first ITF title.
