I suppose he can look to the likes of Dan Evans etc for inspiration on talented youngsters that had to wait until they were well into their 20s until they reached the top levels of the game

 Dan was very immature at that age and lacking the professionalism for tennis

 Yep not sure that's the best comparison. Evo's delayed rise up the rankings was in large part down to the lifestyle choices he was making at the time and it sounds as though Henry's issues are somewhat different.

 Not sure the comparisons are that different tbh. Henry was absolutely hammered at the pub in Wimbledon village last year during Wimbledon Doesn't scream someone who is serious about prioritising becoming a pro

 Yes, I agree - I thought the comparison was pretty apt, from the little bits I've seen 

Henry strikes me as an immature lad - which, tbh, I call a 'normal' lad

Dan was definitely there, Marcus Willis was there, and many others

I'm pretty confident that he'll get it together but he's only 19 - he's a way to go first  

L16:  (1) Johannus Monday WR 233 defeated Giles Hussey WR 330 by 1 & 2

L16:  Charles Broom WR 315 defeated (Q) Alexander Ritschard (SUI) WR 496 by 4 & 2

The Nottingham streams on the ATP site seem to be down this morning - is that the same for everyone else?

Not working for me, either, Sheddie.

 What sort of funding does Henry get?

L16:  (Q) Cannon Kingsley (USA) WR 537 defeated (6) Alastair Gray WR 283 by 6-4 4-6 6-1  

Somehow, I feared as much.

 Cannon was serving bombs apparently. IGMC

 King-sized ones, no less

That was a good quality match.

Toby needs one more win to break the Top 250, and very few points to defend in first half of the year.
