Not sure who I want to win.

Both capable of getting to top 500, but it may take a little time.

Henry may be quicker as he should get some JE into challengers at some stage.

I'd probably prefer Stuart to win

Henry's obviously a fave, and a bigger presence, long term, but Stuart for tomorrow just because, if Henry's still at school and doing A levels until next May, then it's not quite so pressing for him.

Henry's stuff will really kick off next summer

But Stuart could really do with getting himself back up to somewhere near where he was before

Henry's certainly getting some matches in this week and all to his reward.

paulisi · Tennis legend

Stu won 6-1 6-1

Wow, certainly didn't expect breadsticks, wonder what the story was there. Of course Henry is still very young and not that used to going deep in draws at this level yet, maybe he ran out of steam. Been a great week all the same.

Well done, Stu !

Score a little more one-sided than I'd have thought, but I expected Stu to win, and wanted him to win too. He needs to get himself back up to 25k and Challenger level.

I note he's not playing doubles too here, which is sensible - at 15k level, you'd expect him to go deep each week and there's only so much tennis a body can take
