Well, I think the take-away from that has to be: well done, Ben - that's two super results you've put out there, should be a new CH coming up, into the top-1000? - and great wildcard choice by the LTA

Ive always liked Ben since I saw him playing Matt B down in Tonbridge. He received so much horrible verbal abuse from his opponent, didnt let it rile him, carried on in a calm and professional manner and got the win! Nice to see him doing well!!

Well, I don't know who Matt B is but he doesn't sound like a nice guy
Well done to Ben for ignoring him !
And, yes, it's a great SF chance for him - and for Harry too, of course - a real big pointer for both of them

I was trying to work out who Matt B is as well. The only person I could come up with was Matty Beecher, but I somehow doubt his dad would let him behave like that on court.
And he was playing some super points at the net - if a little unorthodox - when you're only 5ft 6, you've got to jump about and throw yourself about a bit
Or not ----- the third set really took off - some great tennis - Arthur's legs with a little dynamo battery in them....
But at 5-3 he sort of didn't try for the next game - save yourself for serving it out has some logic - BUT if you're not a huge server, once you allow your body to relax slightly, it's difficult to tense it up again - and, sure enough, he then played a rather weird game and got broken back to 5-5
