Lord, Henry has been making a bit of a pig's ear out of this match

he had lots of chances in the second set - during the set - and then served for it at 6-5 - was 5-3 up in the TB - had one or two SPs

But ended up losing it and we're now into a third

  His playing style is a bit 'wild' though, sort of untidy at times,  not that professional  looking or am I being harsh?

Good to see him string a couple of wins together after some recent disappointing results.

 I think that's very fair, Julia C

It seems 'raw', a bit immature and, as you say, not that professional and a bit untidy

BUT it does have a lot of relaxation through the shot, acceleration of arm, effect on the ball and a lot of other things that are encouraging

Hopefully he can tidy it up a bit coz there's an awful lot to like there smile

The truth is that it is. It can be messy with a glut of unforced errors at times. And yet, he still won this match against a guy who has been top 200 with a couple of top 100 wins this year (including last week in the Davis cup) and has won a couple of challengers this year. So he either got very lucky or has some genuinely high potential upside that just needs to be harnessed. I dont know which way itll go but am excited to see it happen.

Henry has a Swiss player ranked in the 400's next called Dylan Dietrich.
