George is 6-4 5-4 and serving versus De Schepper - this could be a great result for him if he can see it through!

Turning into a very good week for George. That's a really solid looking win.

Yeah, that's three wins against higher ranked players (and pretty good higher ranked players too). AND all in two sets.

George seems to play a lot in France, and played the UTR events there last summer, rather than the ProLeague stuff back in the UK.

His results in French events seem to be better than his efforts elsewhere, as well. 

So maybe best he stay there smile

Thrilled to see him put a good run together biggrin

Is (was) de Schepper a bit of a serial Brit Basher or is that just my imagination? Very good win for George regardless!

Don't remember that, although you may be right. I think he was Kyle's first victory at ATP level at Eastbourne on the grass..  Or if not the first, then one of the first.

All I know is that Kenny is like Man-Mountain - about 6 ft 7 or 8, and not a skinny lad either

SF:  (Q) Jaimee Floyd Angele (FRA) WR 755 (CH = 595 in April 2019) vs (Q) George Loffhagen WR 936

Angele had just beaten the Israeli top seed, Leshem (WR 391), by 4 & 3.  Could be an interesting semi...

He's actually Jaimee, not Jamiee. 

I've always been quite a big fan of his - we've talked about him before - a really tall young man (6ft 8 or 9 or so?) who - in my view - has a lot of promise.

He's only 20 and, being that tall, is taking a while to 'grow into himself', so to speak. 

Rather like George, he's had some awful results, and some really tight losses, and some amazing matches thrown in for good measure. 

I'm hoping George and Jaimee will be playing a lot of tennis against each other in the future

Ridiculous name, ridiculous spelling either way!

Presumably Hi-me as opposed to Jay-me? Pronunciation wise?

 It's basically the hispanic name Jaime, pretty old and well-established, hardly ridiculous no  

As Jon says, more hebrew-sounding 'Hi-me', rather than Jamie

Lots of them in Spain and Portugal, don't know why that makes if a daft spelling (the extra 'e' is presumably just a little tweak, rather like Jamie instead of James, although it hardly changes the pronunciation in this case) 

His dad is Venezuelan so I guess that's where it comes from (his mum is Flemish Belgian)

NB Not sure how he chooses to pronounce it himself, in France. Many kids with foreign names in France call themselves a bastardized French version of the name, just for ease, because so many French people have trouble with foreign names
