Odd - you would have thought that it would be leg related.

Quite relieved by that. Kicker might not be at his peak but Liam is coming back from an injury layoff himself and could do with a comfortable opening match or two to find his rhythm.

Agreed, and that kicker has had a drug ban between his career high and now the ranking might not be an accurate reflection of ability, especially on clay. Obviously a qualifier has had matches already; but Id still prefer that!

Sometimes qualifiers are worse in a 1st round because the y have a chance to get their eye in on the court.

And very often they are great opening draws. May I fill up your half empty glass?

Liam too short of match practice? That said, Weis served for the match at 5-2.

Loved your optimism Indi but sadly I got one right for a change wink
