O/T Katie Boulter

[MillersTime]

Yes, her boyfriend, Alex de Minaur is a top 20 player. Katie Boulter is just in the top 100 and really only became No 1 in Britain due to Emma Raducanu's injuries and recent ops. Trying to be
positive looking ahead to Wimbledon but can't see any of the Brits getting very far, including the men.

Perhaps Cam Norrie. About it, unfortunately.

Perhaps Cam Norrie. About it, unfortunately.

Definitely our best bet, he's a good player. Made the semi final at Wimbledon last year but hasn't really got the quality to beat the likes of Djokovic or Alcarez for instance. He's 13th in the world.

No Federer or Nadal remember this year and a few in the top 10 are flaky. Tsitsipas can't buy a win right now, been hopeless on grass courts in the run up. Holger Rune is inexperienced on grass, Casper Ruud is a good player (French open finalist) but it depends if he brings his A game. Zverev can play when he wants to and Danil Medvedev will be dangerous, he's the ATP number 3, the Russian who Wimbledon banned last season.

There always seems to be a dark horse who comes good. I think Alex De Minaur will go deep this tournament. He's a good outside bet if anyone wants one. Him or Medvedev but I honestly can't see past Djokovic or Alcarez.

If Cam gets a decent draw he might make the quarters, you never know.

Not a hope mate with my dodgy shoulder and elbow although even at 62 and not having lifted a racquet in many years I'm sure I'm still somewhere in the top 1000 in the UK rankings

Get yourself to London mate, quick! Qualification rounds for lower ranked players are going on right now. You might get in!

Having watched him at Queens, he’ll need to improve to progress at Wimbledon. We can hope

By the way Cam, has there been much interest in the Gold Cup out there in the US?

I've watched a few games. Ex-Wednesday and now at Derby, Mendez-Laing made his debut for Guatemala the other day, he played well, got an assist.

USA team looks like their B team?

There might have been but not in our household I haven't seen much coverage but then again with so many channels these days I'm sure it's being shown on at least one of them. I did notice on the sports app on my TV where I look for scores in all sports (a bit like Ceefax in the olden days) that the US were thumping St. Kitts and Nevis after 25 minutes yesterday and just thought it was a friendly or one of the Concacaf competitions that go on every summer (as indeed it turns out the Gold Cup is).

Watching her out won 1st set on tiebreaker 1-1 2nd set cheer English born home!

[gru]

Won. I'm a fan like her game.

[Heliosphan]

Won. I'm a fan like her game.

She did. She beat someone ranked around 150 places below her. She can only beat what's in front of her, so well done and bring on round 2.

But what is it about her game you like? What differentiates her game from other players for instance?
