Believe it or not I have seen Gary Lugassy play, so I can give Marray's many fans a scouting report if they wish.

Well, I saw Lugassy play Frank Dancevic at the semis of a Montreal Futures competition 2 years ago. Lugassy is a lefty. He was a bit smallish but strong, and had some pop on his serve. He sliced it a lot of the time but could get some nasty work on it. Liked to take control of points and had a pretty good, aggressive all court game. Good crosscourt forehand. He wore a short, military style haircut.
I found myself hoping that he would complain about calls because he had this funny high-pitched whiny voice that made me laugh. ;D
Let me look up that score... Aha, 6-4, 7-6(5), Dancevic won.

I remember that tie-break was bery intense. Frankie impressed me by diving at the baseline to pull off a winner, much like Pioline did in the USO match against Guga (Remember that one? Guga crossed the net to shake his hand). Almost identical shot. The crowd of about 34 went wild!

Britons fear for safety as violence eruptsBy Neil Harman,Tennis Correspondent May 14, 2005 www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,5205-1611431,00.html THE sound of gunfire was frighteningly audible down the phone line. James Trotman, the LTA coach, was huddled together yesterday with six British players at a tennis club in the strife-torn city of Andijan in Uzbekistan waiting for the word that it is safe to pack up and get out of the country as fast as their transport will carry them. Arvind Parmar, Jamie Delgado, David Sherwood, Richard Bloomfield, Jonny Marray and Dan Kiernan have been competing in the Andijan Futures caught up in the mass civil unrest in the city in the east of Uzbekistan that has, according to reports, inspired “mass panic”, left nine people dead and forced men, women and children to flee indiscriminate gunfire. The violence flared last night, when up to 4,000 prisoners were set free by armed men protesting at the country’s rising poverty and calling for the resignation of the President, Islam Karimov. None of the British players was aware of the rising trouble until arriving at Andijan Tennis Club to watch Marray compete in the semi-finals of the singles against Denis Istomin, a local wild card. “We still don’t know what’s going on, to be truthful,” Trotman said yesterday evening. “We have been hearing conflicting messages all day, but as far as we know, a team from the British consulate is arriving to assess our situation and see when it is safe to leave. As of now, we have been told to stay at the club and not move. Some other guys have left, but we were told the roads were all blocked and that was too dangerous. “The trouble is, we’re not sure what to do. Some people tell us it’s under control and then we hear how many people have been killed. It’s pretty bloody scary, to tell you the truth. It’s been horrible from the day we arrived. Three guys, including myself, have been sick with the food and we are staying in a place where most of the windows are smashed.” Confusion spread to the event itself when initial reports that the tournament was to be cancelled were overruled and Marray went out to play his semi-final yesterday morning. “There was a 90-minute delay, but then the tournament director told us to get on with it,” Trotman said. “Jonny lost, it was not a good performance, but I don’t think that was uppermost in any of our minds. We just want to get out of here as quickly and safely as we can. “I know none of us has experienced anything like this in our lives. There is so much uncertainty, no one really knows what is going on and every few minutes for the last six hours or so we’ve heard really loud gunfire from what seems to be a few hundred yards away. There are said to be a lot of snipers on the roofs around here.” The British players were facing a five-hour car journey to Tashkent for next week’s challenger event in Fergana. “All we want to do is get home in one piece,” Trotman said, as another loud crack of gunfire was heard in the distance.

Britons back in safety zone (link embedded in title) By Neil Harman, Tennis Correspondent May 17, 2005 DAVID SHERWOOD has dodged the odd metaphorical bullet in his time, but his first Davis Cup call last month to Israel, where a car bomb exploded just as the Great Britain team arrived in Tel Aviv, followed by being caught up in the bloody uprising in Uzbekistan, suggests that body armour might be a useful addition to his tennis accoutrements. Sherwood, his fellow players Jonny Marray, Arvind Parmar, Richard Bloomfield, Jamie Delgado and Dan Kiernan, and their coach, James Trotman, returned from Tashkent yesterday morning. Sherwood’s father, John, a former Olympic athlete, met the flight and drove his son and Marray back to Yorkshire, stopping off for a feast at Toddington Services on the M1, in Bedfordshire. Never has motorway food looked so sumptuous. The previous two nights they had slept on ramshackle couch-cum-beds in a tennis club in Andijan — where they had been ordered to remain as rioting flared into bloodshed. “Going all that way is pretty tough in the first place, it’s down there with the worst places and then there’s this on top of it,” Sherwood said. “Every time I woke up on the plane, all I thought of was how much closer I was to England.” It was never going to be a routine week. Rarely do so many British players find themselves at one tournament abroad, Sherwood won his first round 6-0, 6-0, fell ill with a stomach bug and could not run during his second match. He awoke late on Friday and dragged himself the ten-minute walk to watch Marray play his singles semi-final. “It was when Jonny was playing doubles that afternoon that the firing started to get really loud,” Sherwood said. “We were told to stay where we were, guys in armoured cars picked up our bags from the flat we’d been sharing because it was too dangerous to go back. So we slept where we could at the club that night, four of us on couches, a couple on half-decent beds, and at 9am they said we could leave. “Then we had the worst experience. A car came towards us pretty fast as we were loading our gear, it didn’t stop and the army fired over its roof. It turned out to be Andrei Stoliarov, the Russian player, his wife and kid, who wanted to join the convoy out of the place. They took us the long way around so we didn’t see anything of the worst stuff.” Each of the seven were constantly on their mobile phones. “I don’t know what my bill’s going to be and I don’t really care,” Sherwood said. “I should have been playing the Challenger in Fergana (in eastern Uzbekistan) this week, but my Mum and Dad didn’t want me hanging around there.” Instead, a place in the $10,000 (about £5,500) Satellite tournament in Oxford next week is being held by the LTA by means of compensation for the potential earnings lost in Uzbekistan.
