My mate' s kid

Has finally been given something by Tennis Australia, a wildcard into the Brisbane International tournament. He plays the defending champ tonight. Hugely exciting.

He plays Stepanek right. Jerry Collins was talking about him on the radio after the cricket today.

Good luck to him

Can you speak louder taips, currently 4/6, 0/4.

Bageled in the second. Sheeeeet.

Good experience, not the bagel that is

The kid's 20, ranked 300+ and has career prizemoney of $26k. Stepanek is early 30's, ranked 12 and career prizemoney of $6m+. No doubt it was an experience.

^^ Hard luck, but yep. Good on the kid.

And, considering what you've just said Mick - absolutely no disgrace in the loss either. Many wouldn't have taken a single game off the champ, let alone lose the opening set to a single break of serve. Well done to the young man.

aye & cheers Growler.

The first set was a terrific peformance. It seems that his serve caved in after that. Nevertheless, a massive lift for John's confidence. It should also make shelling out the dollars to fund everything a little less painful for his dad, for a while anyway.

No. Thanks for your interest.

Bad taste, eh Henry?
