Oscar's results are a bit odd, one tournament win and very little else. I was going to suggest Stu should come though this match as should Henry.
Oscar went 0-3 down in the first set but has just won four games in a row.
He of course won that tournie in Monastir just a month or two back. It looks like he finished juniors just before the pandemic hit and may have struggled to make it onto the pro tour but results seem to be coming together this season, at least a little more but not yet consistently. He played a couple of UKPL weeks this year and came in middling in the list, standing just outside the top 10 in their ranking table
As said, I'm convinced it's all part of the 2001-er brigade charge
Blu and Harry and Oscar have all decided, en masse, to make their move
No coincidence that it's all happened within 2 or 3 months of each other.
With Jack and Anton, we might have five 2001-ers in, or knocking on the door of, the top-500
(And, of course, if the rare George Loff bird ever is sighted on a tennis court again, that'd be a round half-dozen)
On a serious note, do you think Jack making his massive leap this year -and last - has spurred the others on, as you say. It could well be the case. I dont know how they all stacked up when younger but if the Harrys and Oscars were competitive or beating Jack, it may well make them push themselves that much harder
(And, no, just me but I don't think Jack's leap up has made any real difference - there were always the two groups - Jack, Anton and George, and the others)
