Without being rude, Adam Jones has a slamdunk first round draw - against the guy who Giacomo Revelli beat 6-1 6-0, and is in the draw as a wildcard, having lost in his first round every time in recent history.

Don't believe in it smile

Of course Adam might lose.

But that still won't contradict the fact he had a slamdunk match....

Blimey makes a change all 3 qualifying, it's usually the reverse.

And I never underestimate a British sportsman's or woman's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of (expected) victory.  wink

Yes, but it's easy to say 'of course they might lose'. It gives an out. It just covers bases. Because it's obviously true, overall. And everything can be hedged in 'ifs and ands'.

So it's important, I reckon, to be 'brave' and committed at times.
