Colin Beecher was watching Ali Gray's match, and also Finn Bass' match too
Although, of course, that might have been simply for interest, not that he is connected to them in any way (or was connected, but no longer). I don't know....

 Both are JTC players.

Colin and several others work with JTC players and have done so for many years.

 But is Finn still JTC? Or just in summer? Or just used to be, as above?

Toby has beaten Finn, 2 & 1

In the match that was always going to be the far more interesting one, Ali G won the first set 6-4. But it's on serve, *4-5 in the second, with Henry Patten playing pretty well, once more

And not unsurprisingly, Henry has taken the second set and it's into a third for him and Ali Gray

Only on livestream but thoroughly enjoyed the bits I saw of that match - all credit to Henry - as yesterday, playing nicely within himself, using his weapons, and Ali got rather caught out - he knew he had to keep it on Henry's backhand but got rather obsessed with that and ended up causing himself more problems than Henry

The key thing is, if Ali's going to have a wobble, so much better to do it against Henry than the young Belgian yesterday

Disappointing for my 'who gets the most grass court wins' challenge, but Henry may be sneaking up on a Top 500 spot.  Every cloud ... and all that.

Sorry CD.  But for reasons I won't elaborate on, I have to go with Henry on this one wink

Surely Julian and Henry can leave behind the 25K level given their ranking rise and start to aim bigger.
We already know they can win at challenger level.

 Can't for the life of me think why.....confusesmile

Despite being lower ranked, Henry was actually the favourite with the betting sites yesterday (1.66 v 2.13) (probably because he beat Ali whereas Stuart 'only' beat James Story). But it's now spot one evens

Actually, although Stuart is 'my man' just because he was going along under everyone's radar playing only in France, I actually really enjoyed watching Henry's match live against Jansen. And his match against Ali on livestream. And haven't seen any of Stuart playing here. 

So no idea about what the odds should be, and I was surprised yesterday, but I feel like I'm 'behind' Henry in this event 

When it's all-GB, I can be pretty happy whatever happens biggrin
