OK - there's time to go before kick-off - I'm changing my forecast - I'm going for zero

I've had this feeling (very scientific ) as mentioned somewhere else that our mid-players have been doing brilliantly these past few weeks, when points are on offer, but will completely bomb at Wimbly (and the higher ones will take over - Cam, Emma (?), Dan)

So, when falling asleep last night, I suddenly thought - but why did I go for three? They're all going to bomb.....

So, that's it folks, zero

Never in the field of tennis predicting has CD ever been so happy to be proved wrong.

Well played Arthur.

Féry's mum is tall and slender (ex pro tennis player in France). And his dad is chunkier but a fair height, from recollection. It's true Arthur is probably 5ft9 with his shoes on, at best......
The ATP says he's 5'8".

Sounds more likely.

I saw 175cm somewhere, as Emmsie did, and thought that was generous...

Absolutely !!!! biggrin

Flippin' marvellous!

If Felix could also prove me wrong, then me and my flutter account would be even happier.

But if Anton, Stuart, etc want to take the mantle instead, be my guest !

There's something good about watching Arthur play. I see a big future for him.

Stu-boy is into a third set
As he's another of our Frenchie connected ones, maybe it's their day
Hang in there, Stu!

I am enjoying watching on the BBC feed on the website - it's great to here about some of these players in the qualies and their history. Really interesting watch.

I should be working and I fear this is a sign of things to come

Sorry, Jon, I'm using a different tablet, no idea how that post got there - youre not 5ft and neither am I ! smile

And 5ft8 is fine, sir, but not the best maybe for a pro male tennis player.....

Mind you, my father is 6ft6 and the most cack-handed person with a ball you've ever seen....

I think my 4 prediction might be 2 or 3 out here sadly.

Antons got a break all is not lost
