And now to add to my thrills. My youngest current player 19 year old John Hart, is playing doubles with the man that drew me in 41 year old Anil Mehul in about an hour in a Futures match. Sadly I can't pull the screenshot in but it's a very cool moment for me.
Thanks again Brian.
And now after advancing to the SF together in doubles we are playing against one another in singles in the QF. True changing of the guard? Or wise old hand keeping on course? We shall see...
After the unlikely pair moved through to the doubles final 3 and 2 they met again in the singles QF match that was all about the Sri Lankan and his first serve (81%.) Mehul ran away 2 and 1, converting nearly half of his potential break points and dominating total points 58-36. Maybe next time for the young Irishman.
