Gotta commend @LenGlover for his commitment to the doubles scene
personally find doubles excruciatingly boring.
And don’t get me started on the US OPEN doubles
Just pleased to see British players doing well
Association is a massive thing for people. Even if it's something like snowboarding, a sport which I have no interest whatsoever in, I will always look at for how well one of ours is doing. Julian Cash is friends with Seb's Bickley CC captain, Elliot Hooper, as they were at Bede's school together. On the day that Cash and Glasspool won Wimbledon I was getting a running commentary of how they were doing from Elliot's Dad during the game against Sevenoaks Vine.
This also reminds me of the time a friend of mine, Gavin Hamilton, played his one and only game for England. I absolutely loved telling people and boring them about his talent for all sports and how proud I was to have had an extremely minor part in his development (he opened for the team I captained at at the age of 12). Gavin had already been out caught for a duck by Pollock off the bowling of Donald and his second innings of the match coincided with me being on the coach of the annual trip to Newbury races organised by Mike Wren (AKA Chirpy and Riviera). I was listening to commentary but he was out for a duck, caught Pollock, bowled Donald once again and had bagged a pair. He never played for England again even though he was a far better white ball all rounder than red and after a mandatory four-year wait returned to playing for Scotland. It hurt to see the way things worked out for him. No one will ever take away from him though the fact that he played for England and Scotland at international level.

Women's tennis is so inconsistent - so many seeds out in the Canadian Open, some quite early on. And Osaka doing well yet she lost to Raducanu in Washington
