First home 25k semis in the UK with nobody left in a long time on the mens side. Seems to be a few more at Roehampton next week, hopefully that will help.

A lot of the guys who played the grass and earlier season M25's (Gray, Cox, Harris, Patten, Parker, Broom etc etc) are off playing Challengers in the States or Thailand this next few weeks and many of those dominated the wins and latter stages. We also seemed to have 20-25 of a 32 man field in those earlier events, so both quality has dropped at the top end and quantity has dropped as more overseas players come in and play these events it seems
