Well, he's through the 1st round with a fairly typical Martin style 9-7 5th
set win against Canas. I was really worried about this match when I found out
Todd was up against him. Did you get to see the match? It was a pretty small
court so you might be on TV or in some of the pictures if you were there.

Next up is Sjeng Schalken, who Todd beat 6-4 6-4 on hard in 2000. Sjeng
Schalken has terrible form on his serve, and I really think Todd will do well
against him. I've read that Schalken has done well on grass before, but if Todd
plays well he should win (hopefully easily). I just hope Todd isn't too tired
out from his 5 set match today.

While Todd was playing Canas I saved some of the pictures that loaded on the
Wimbledon website and will post a few of those.

Well there are so few players truly happy on the green stuff these
days that Todd does have the edge in that respect .... although with
the hot dry weather (I am not joking!!!)we are having the courts
may play more "true" and closer to a hard court..... I am cedrtainly
booking a day off for his first match .... sadly it may well be
my "last chance to see" .... how far he will go will depend on the
draw and his stamina... I think it is wide open but I doubt that Todd
has the miles left for a long run..... much as I hate to say it....
but he is a big favourite at SW19 and will get loads of support.... I
hope he can make a decent showing..
