He played 3 tournaments in 15 months plus pro series and I don't see a period where he was 'out of form' I see a period where he didn't play at all. Jay and Aidan hit a bad period where they really struggled to win, Aidan certainly found some form suddenly and so far it doesn't appear to be a flash in the pan, which is excellent,, jury is still out on Jay but certainly looking a lot better, Anton didn't play any matches so the next few weeks will certainly give an idea of where he is. Using a phrase 'picked up form' suggests that he had been playing but not getting results which isn't the case.

Actually Emmsie, you can't be a "word pedantic". Pedantic is an adjective. You are perhaps a "word pedant"

I'm sorry for being such a pedantic ****te!

Edit: My bad language is Bowdlerised. In place of the asterisks, there should be the letters t, w, a and then another t.

Pedant bait. Clever.

I'm not sure that I can shagged to participate in semantic pedantry on a bulletin board that is supposedly devoted to tennis. Pedantic and puerile muff that I am, I wonder if the American owners of this board arsed with intricacies of British vernacular. Muff is a pleasant town on the north coast of Northern Ireland. I understand there is a Scuba club there, dunno what it is called...

Anton lost the first set 2-6

Anton lost 2-6 3-6

Decent enough performance.

Mackenzie is just VERY solid, runs down absolutely everything, and was the better player overall.

But Anton should be pleased enough

QF: Mackenzie McDonald (USA) WR 114 defeated (WC) Anton Matusevic WR 547 by 2 & 3

LordBrownof · Futures level

Fab week for Anton. Showing us that there are definite signs of real potential beyond Jacky D.

indiana · Tennis legend

Yes, really good. So need more to come through on the men's side.

Bit irritating that Bolt won this.

When Felix basically was 49:51 against him in QR1 (and should have had the first set, apart from possible umpire error)

And then Aidan was so close to beating him too....

(He also got two wins by retirement)

I quite like the bloke, having seen him play live a couple of times, but still a little irritating.....

A bit of a Bolt out of the blue then?

A very profitable title to take as well considering it came with a WC to the Wimbledon main draw. So instead of guaranteed £8500 for QR1. £48000 for R1.
