Now, dont get me wrong, I like Andy Murray and really want him to do well, but he just doesnt inspire the huge passion I had for Tim's game
Chris Eaton, well he really is another story; I am literally loving his style of play, and oh my word, he is a committed serve volley player, perhaps he really can fill a little bit of the void.
Great attitude and demeanour and having won his place through qualifying, and taking a nice straight sets victory in round one, he is in the second round at Wimbledon on absolute merit (unlike some other british tennis players we could mention!).
great stuff and I am really excited about his future
It was great to see Eaton serve-volleying on every 1st and 2nd serve! I think it shows that all the talk of slower grass, bigger racquets etc. is exaggerated. Eaton, an inexperienced player outside the top 600 held his serve pretty well against the 25th seed. A skilled player could still win with serve-volley IMO, they just have to be good enough at attacking.
Let's hope Eaton is the very man to carry on the style. As a Scot, I also wish Murray well and think he has a serious chance at making the QF's this year.
