The next great prospect in British Tennis?

In his first five set match of his first grand slam, he's just come from 2-0 down to win.

  • Oh, and his opponent was an Aussie. :-)
  • Watched the final set - great stuff form the young man !

    Davis Cup, here come the Brits !
  • A great performance, was impressed by his mental strength, he revelled in the crowd and showed no signs of nerves!

    Terrible tattoos though :-)
  • Good on him, not the weather for that beard though.
  • Any idea who he can potentially face in the 2nd Round?

    It'll be David Goffin. 16th seed.

    Another chinless wonder from the home-counties hits the dust in Round 2...

    A much improved player over the last year, he's got no great record at Wimbledon though.

    England vs Belgium, a bit like Charlton really :smile:
  • Oh, and his opponent had no hands. :-)

  • never heard of him

    She lost, in straight sets.

    Stockport. Do your homework son.
  • Allegedly ;Sister had her LTA funding withdrawn at 17 for what they deemed was an inappropriate post on social media. Brother took their shilling and father not spoken to him since. These governing bodies (FA included) are a law unto themselves and need radical overhaul.

    Same as fred Perry. Must be an inbred enclave.
  • Goffin, will be tough. Saw his first set yesterday. Good ground strokes, just lacks a power serve. Didn't he beat Nadal a couple of years ago on court 1?

    Goffin is good and can't see him dropping to Broady, but if he is on his way up a top 20 scalp would be an indicator and could be achievable. On the other hand Matosevic was only a few places above him in the rankings despite his experience, and he lost the match with plenty of unforced errors as much as Broady won it.
  • Jesus. Laura Robson looks even hotter than last year!!
  • Shame her tennis isnt so hot.
  • At least broady is English!

    Was this the story about the then teenagers all getting drunk whilst training in Spain?

    In September 2007, Broady and fellow British competitor, David Rice, were both suspended by the LTA for "unprofessional behaviour" and "lack of discipline" due to pictures posted on the social networking website Bebo. The pictures and various comments made on them were deemed to be supportive of a lifestyle of drinking and partying, and as such, both players had resources such as funding and coaching withdrawn. Their pages on Bebo were later shut down.[5] Brendan Gallagher of The Daily Telegraph later commented that the photos were "comparatively tame" and "not the cleverest move for a wannabe tennis star but hardly scandalous behaviour for a 17-year-old."
  • Shame her tennis isnt so hot.

    Coming back from injury, you could see the talent is still there (I was there today) but lots of errors, especially in the serve
  • never heard of him

    Used to play for Arsenal & Ireland in the 70's. Very gifted player in his day..............
  • Lost the first set on a tie break and now 3-0 down (2 breaks of serve).

    This is a replica of Goffin's previous match, where after winning the tie break, he waltzed through the next 2 sets 6-1 6-1. Hopefully not but Goffin is very consistent.
  • Broady lost 7-6, 6-1, 6-1.
