Johnny Millman, no he isn't going to be one of the alltime greats, and I am not starting this thread because of nationalistic reasons either.
He made sure he finished his schooling before starting to play on the tour, which is a good thing and he is a good guy with a very positive attitude.
Played well this week by making the semis of the Burnie Challenger losing to Klein, who won the title. After a few days at home, he is going to Spain and playing Futures events on the clay, which is a surface that he enjoys playing on. It will help the development of his game and also he can use his fitness.
He has won a Futures title and made a final in a Romanian futures as a qualifier.
Doubt he will ever be much more than top 200, but it has been good to see him progressing quickly up the rankings and results great to see as he is a 'good bloke' :lol:
Millman unfortunately lost in the final of a Bulgarian Futures tournament. A tad disappointing considering that he was number 1 seed and he had come so far but nonetheless still a good effort. Hopefully he can keep racking up the ranking points. Has hardly anything to defend until mid july. Good opportunity for him to rise up the rankings.
Millman back playing the Italian futures this week with a 15k clay tournament. Is into the QF after defeating the eighth seed in straight sets. Now plays the third seed, Alberto Brizzi which should be a tough match.
John ended up winning his QF before knocked out in the semis. A great week for him. Hopefully he can keep up this good form and take advantage of this period where he has hardly anything to defend.
judging by his results hes actually preety good and a player to watch usually these lowly ranked aussie juniors make R2 and if there lucky a QF Millman always in QF's n SF's of overseas futures events
Thanks for the update and not good news. Hopefully whatever the problem is it can be fixed. A shame as he looked like he was about to launch up the rankings over the next few months.
He ran the Gold Coast half marathon a few weeks ago, so his endurance base is still there, but not sure when he will be back, once I find anything out, then I will post it here.
The Mailman has been doing rehab and tentative comeback is scheduled for Darwin Futures in mid September.
