Week 7 - ITF M25 - Glasgow, UK - (indoor hard)


Its interesting the psyche of this - is it just me or does this 4th itf in recent weeks at home feel like maybe one too many? Last weeks was very exciting and positive, it feels like, to me at least,
Maybe that was enough for now . Maybe 3 is a natural level in quick succession, then a gap to let the players float off round the world , then another 3 in spring etc.

It is probably just me and probably the players themselves feel different ?

I think they've been great and good timing too. An opportunity to accumulate points at the start of the season and, unless extraordinarily unlucky, atleast 1 decent draw. Points make prizes.

 First, not enough opportunities for home players, now too many! They can't win! smile

 no, i agree, for the players certainly. I think this week I am just a bit jaded by the amount of play, I struggle to keep up and 4 weeks in , I need a breakbiggrin

 

I think UKPL next week wont get much of my attention!

 Indeed.

Although there is still a lot of play to go , it is looking like Ali Gray on the mens side will come out of the 4 weeks with the most wins from the events, he is on 9 currently and counting, next best are on 6. 

Sonay similarly has the honour in the womens on 7 and it doesnt look like anyone else can beat that now, Jodie could equal it with a title and Sonay falling down at the next hurdle.

Looks like the scoreboard has frizen for Anton. Pretty sure he broke the last game so my guess is he's 3-0 up in the 2nd

 

ETA it's back and he is 3-0 up

Brutal by Billy over Oscar 6-0 6-0. Anyone watch it? Any injury or just one way traffic?
