Not much better with his WC into the doubles. Got the 2nd seeds.

Well done Billy, tight as expected . They had split two Matches earlier this year so it always was going to be a toss up.

Good stuff. Go back a year or so and few folk would have expected Bilky ( or even Billy ) to be better ranked than Aidan and now pushing ever closer to the top 300.

Aidan has made some progress but Billly ( or even Billy ) very markedly so and now indeed edges their recent head to heads.

And not only that, it sounds as though his clarinet playing has significantly improved too wink

I may be wrong, but I suspect that Priesty had the 60s jazz clarinettist, Acker Bilk, in mind with that one.
