 Think I'm more disappointed because I felt some of our guys were better than there rank and on grass might show it but I think I was wrong with both thoughts sadly.

Billy joins Jay in winning 0 points on return just 2 DFs. However the level was awful from Billy complete contrast to how he looked last year on grass! Sad to see...

Hopefully! I mean Jay very nearly did... Maybe should have! But both have tough matches but really struggled set 1s.

He seems to be rediscovering his rhythm on grass:  now a set all after he took the second by 6-3.  smile

Lloyd upped his level, increased his serve speed in the final set.

Losing in a close 3 set battle with Lloyd is no disgrace that's for sure.

Billy had break points in the game before he was broken and lost as well... poor day won't be able to follow tomorrow maybe a good thing.

Rain this week in Birmingham forecast says. I guess all games will be moved indoor?

Really odd and poor set from Johannes. Loses it 6-1.

 They usually try and keep it outdoors as long as possible and play between the showers. It is early in the week, i think, to start moving indoors, maybe by Thursday if they are behind.

In a 32 draw over 6 days event, there is usually quite a lot of slack to get things done, it is if they reach say Thursday or Friday and are in round one or two that they might move indoors.
