[roytennisfan]

We have Cameron in another singles final with Brydan and Joe in the doubles final at Stockton Ca tomorrow, Cmon the Brits

[roytennisfan]

Lot's of Brits in action today, in r2 qualifiers at Farfield we have Liam(1) Jay(5) and Alex(4) hoping to join Brydan and Cameron(5) in the main draw (only 1 of Liam/Jay can make it, 4 Qual) If Cameron doesn't run out of steam, a few more wins today and in Farfield, he could make top 100 a week tomorrow

[roytennisfan]

We have Cameron in another singles final with Brydan and Joe in the doubles final at Stockton Ca tomorrow, Cmon the Brits

The doubles starts at 7 followed by Cameron v King on Livestream

[roytennisfan]

[roytennisfan]

Brits won 6-4, Cameron a set up 6-1

[roytennisfan]

In r2 qualifying Liam lost but both Jay and Alex won, final qualifying today to hopefully join Brydan in the MD (Cam has withdrawn after his exertions the past two weeks)

[roytennisfan]

Both Jay and Alex lo st their final qualifiers but Alex got a LL spot. Alex currently playing 6-3 6-6 v Fratangelo(3)

[roytennisfan]

Alex looses tb 5-7, set all

[roytennisfan]

Alex lost 4-6 in the decider after taking a mto between sets

[anor]

Alex lost 4-6 in the decider after taking a mto between sets
Oh no, hope it is nothing serious. Alex has been doing so well since his last return from injury.

[roytennisfan]

Not sure, he seemed to be ok in the third

[roytennisfan]

Bryan lost to Marterer 4-6 6-7, so no Brits through in singles. However plenty playing in the doubles there this evening Liam&Jay followed by Brydan&Joe then Neil Skupski&Smith(aus)

[roytennisfan]

Liam and Jay have won their doubles, Brydan and Joe playing now

[roytennisfan]

Brydan and Joe also won

[roytennisfan]

Doubles at Fairfield were won by Luke Bambridge and David O'hare

[roytennisfan]

Lots of Brits in MD at Las Vegas ch, Cameron(2) Liam, Brydan and Jay. Also in doubles Brydan/Joe(1), Jay/Marcus, Liam plays with Neilson and Cameron with Rybakov

[roytennisfan]

Brydan and Joe into another final Las Vegas ch

[roytennisfan]

Liam followed up his win against Cameron with a comeback win against Opera and his semi later v E King

[roytennisfan]

Brydan and Joe win the doubles in 3 sets, well done

[roytennisfan]

Cameron(3) and Liam are playing Charlottsville , with Alexander Luke Ed and Neil in the qualifiers. Also quite a few Brits in the doubles as well

[roytennisfan]

Neil and Ed made it to final qual but Alex and Luke didn't, however Neil is now a set down in his final

[roytennisfan]

A win in charlottesville would have taken Cameron into the top 100 unfortunately he has made an early exit and is still a good number of points short. He is due to play another challenger next week, let's hope that he can get another win.

[roytennisfan]

Not a great tournie for Brits, Liam lost a close one overnight so nobody left.

[roytennisfan]

Better news from Germany that the skupskis have made the ch final there

[roytennisfan]

4 Brits playing r2 qualifiers in Knoxville today (Luke the 5th Brit, lost in r1) Neil has lost today having defeated the 3rd seed yesterday, Alex is through and will play the winner of Ed and Willbomb, Ed took the first set in a tiebreak

[roytennisfan]

Forgot to post, the Skupskis lost their final yesterday

[roytennisfan]

Ed has just broken willbomb to win 7-6 7-5 and either he or Alex will qualify to join Cameron and Liam in the main draw

[roytennisfan]

Alex beat Ed to qualify but Ed got a LL spot, in r1 Liam won yesterday and Alex has just won today, Ed will be on soon against K King with Cameron v Kudla possibly on at the same time

[roytennisfan]

Ed has made in 3 Brits through but Cameron is struggling a set down 4-6

[roytennisfan]

Cameron fighting back set all 4-6 6-3

[roytennisfan]

Another defeat for Cameron 4-6 6-3 3-6, not the best end of year, currently 113 in live but bound to drop a few places as others win

[Bardot]

Watching British players lose from a winning position is becoming an unwelcome habit. Cameron yesterday and now Liam Broady who was twice a break up in the third set against Peliwo but lost 6-7 6-4 4-6.

[exislander]

A Ward lost too - in straight sets. Only Corrie left in singles now.

[roytennisfan]

Ed finally got a break in the decider and was serving for match at 5-3 and was broken for 5-4

[exislander]

But he wins it 7-5!

[roytennisfan]

Pleased Ed finally won this tough match at made the quarters as the last Brit standing

[roytennisfan]

Sadly ed lost his QF today

[roytennisfan]

The Skupskis are in the bratislava final later today

[roytennisfan]

Forgot to post Skupskis won 10-8 in the decider

[roytennisfan]

Cameron is playing another tournament in Champaign, cmon Cam 3rd time lucky after two poor losses

[roytennisfan]

Ed is also in the MD and Alex is ranked #1 in qualification, Liam has withdrawn and Neil has lost his r1 qualifier

[roytennisfan]

Alex qualified and will be playing soon, Ed has lost today

[roytennisfan]

We have Brydan and Jay playing in Pune, Jay won yesterday and Brydan earlier today, both have tougher matched next round against seeds

[Nessie]

Sadly Alex lost today too

[anor]

Sadly Alex lost today too

Yes, but it was close against a very experienced pro who is still ranked in the 100s. Good news is that Cameron won in his overnight match.

[roytennisfan]

Cameron's win in Champaign was followed by Jay's second win in Pune beating 7th seed King, meets 3rd seed Bhambri next, also in in Pune, unfortunately Brydan lost

[roytennisfan]

Cameron has won again overnight in champaign and will face unseeded mcdonald (also 22yo) in the quarter final this evening, he is due on much earlier today. Jay will play his one in pune this morning

[roytennisfan]

Unfortunately Bhambri proved to strong for Jay, he lost 6-4 6-0

[roytennisfan]

Cameron is on and serving first

[roytennisfan]

Cameron closing it out, was well on top 6-2 6-0, in sf will play Smyczek who beat top seed Sandgren

[anor]

Cam looks to be playing so much better than in his last couple of tourneys, so wishing him well v Smyczek.

[roytennisfan]

Cameron went downhill after losing to Liam in Las Vegas, but does seem to have picked up here, last year he lost in the opening round and his ranking became #296, this year he is two (tricky) wins away from gaining 200 places in a year and entering the top100, Cmon Cam

Will start very soon on Livestream

[roytennisfan]

Cameron a set down, behind from the opening game 5-7, he missed some opportunities, so frustrating broke back for 5-5 then broken again

[roytennisfan]

4sp in tiebreak

[roytennisfan]

1 left cmon Cam

[roytennisfan]

Yes won on the final set point

[roytennisfan]

The deciding set quickly went pear shaped, lost first two games like the opening set, now 1-4, such a shame after battling back

[roytennisfan]

Cam lost 5-7 7-6 3-6, had opportunities but didn't take enough

[roytennisfan]

Joe Salisbury lost the doubles finals in Champaign but the consolation is he has just become the 5th Brit ranked in the top100, behind Jamie, Dom and Skupskis

[roytennisfan]

Jay is doing well in bangalore ch. Won a very close quarter final 7-6 in decider and may well enter top 250 next week

[roytennisfan]

Jay won his semi relatively easy 6-3 6-4, faces Nagal (and Indian crowd) in the final. Jay at nch #220 in live, about 50 places below Liam

[roytennisfan]

Pity Jay lost, but still, a challenger final is a step-up for him after playing a number of futures, will be either #220 or #221 (if Whittington wins his Hua Hin final) tomorrow, still only 19 and considerably younger than both Cameron 22 and Liam 23. Let's hope all three take big steps forward in 2018!

[roytennisfan]

Liam is playing @dreddytennis at Rennes ch90 in a few minutes

[roytennisfan]

Liam is playing @dreddytennis at Rennes ch90 in a few minutes

Great win for Liam 6-3 4-6 7-5 gotta luv @dreddytennis though

[roytennisfan]

Nishikori is a set down to Novikov at the Newport ch125 3-6

[roytennisfan]

Kei has just levelled 3-6 6_3

[Teresa]

Well that won’t do his confidence any good. He has just lost in 3 sets to the WR 238. Poor chap.

[roytennisfan]

Forgot to post that, Liam had another good win today beating Janvier 6-4 6-1 to get into QF

[anor]

Well done Liam! Maybe playing himself into DC pick since Cam seems to have gone off the boil?

[roytennisfan]

Liam won his quarter final in straight sets but has lost his semi 7-5 6-1 to Berankis, now back up to #165 in live, still roughly 50 behind Cameron though

[roytennisfan]

Unfortunately Jay could not match Liam's victory over @dreddytennis losing in quimper 6-4 6-4

[roytennisfan]

The skupskis are #1 seeds in whimper and have won their opening match 6-1 6-3

[roytennisfan]

Kei faces Novikov again in Dallas but this time wins 6-3 6-3

[roytennisfan]

We have British interest in two doubles finals today, good luck lads
Neil Skupski and Smith face Bemelmans and Eysseric in Guardelope about 1900 and then Jay Clarke and Krawietz face Arevalo and Reyes-Varela in Mexico 2100

[roytennisfan]

Good news first one was a British win in Guadeloupe 7-6(3) 6-3 , well done Skupski and Smith

[anor]

Well done Neal & partner! With his winner's points, Neal will leapfrog Dom in tomorrow's rankings to take GB No 2 spot.

[roytennisfan]

Good news first one was a British win in Guadeloupe 7-6(3) 6-3 , well done Skupski and Smith

Unfortunately Jay lost his final, he plays again in Panama tomorrow

[roytennisfan]

Jay has just won 6-2 6-3 in Mexico to ko top seed Hanfmann

[roytennisfan]

Unfortunately after taking out the top seed, Jay lost his second round 4-6 4-6 to Basso, his 3rd consecutive loss to him, lost in 2 futures in Italy last year

[anor]

Looks like he may not be a good match up for Jay, a bit like Andy v Coric!

[roytennisfan]

Jay beat McDonald the 4th seed in Sarasota 3-6 6-3 6-2

[roytennisfan]

Jay is playing live now

[roytennisfan]

Currently one set all 6-7 6-4

[goldfish]

Excellent fighting win from Jay 67 64 76

[Jan]

Fabulous! :clap:

[anor]

What a fight from Jay! 8 deuces in one game and 5 in another to hold serve in 3rd set. Well done young man! :clap::clap:

[themass15]

Good win by Jay. Well done!

[karanga]

Well done Jay. :bravo:

[roytennisfan]

Really good win for Jay, he came back from.a break down in that third set

[Jan]

Jay lost a hard-fought QF match vs Bagnis 7-6 6-4.

[roytennisfan]

5th seed Liam Broady lost his r2 match v Branki 6-7 1-6 in Francavilla Italy

[anor]

Jay has just won his 1st rd match in Savannah. :thumbup: It was a bit of a slog in what looked like very hot conditions. Keep it up Jay!

[roytennisfan]

Liam lost opening set 3-6 in Lisbon to Robredo

[roytennisfan]

Liam lost 3-6 6-4 3-6 tough match

[Nessie]

We went we day 1 of Loughborough today. It was great although not many were there. Still, we saw Dan and James win and Ed Corrie, Lloyd G, Alex Ward and Marcus W all play well although they lost. A fun day out!

[Golden Lady]

Just got home from an absolutely fab weekend at the Ilkley Challenger! So good to see Sergiy Stakhovsky win the men's title and be awarded a wildcard into the Wimbledon main draw. Perhaps he can take down Fed again like he did in 2013 in the second round ;)

[roytennisfan]

Lexington has a tougher top half with Alex through today, Liam(4) Jay(7) and Dan facing Granollers (1) in the first round.

[roytennisfan]

Top half just got easier, Granollers has withdrawn

[roytennisfan]

Not looking good Liam(4) lost to a qualifier and Dan was bagled in the opening set by another qualifier

[roytennisfan]

Alex is another Brit playing a decider now, 3-6 6-2
