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.

:lol: the mailman.

Been playing excellent of late.

He is a good kid, big soccer fan and quite skillful at it as well, he will keep progressing up the ranks this season, as long as he stays fit.

The "Mailman" is back on the court next week playing in Terrasa Futures.

The "Mailman" delivered a 4-6 6-3 6-3 win in his first round and will play Ward in the 2nd round.

John got up 6-4 in the 3rd against the 5th seed Olaso, he will play Ward again and want to avenge the defeat last week.

:banana: Millman is into the semis of an Italian Futures Tournament.

Along the way he has defeated the fourth seed Cervanak in 3 sets and both Grilli and Olaso in straight sets.

Millman seeded 1 for the Bulgarian Futures Tournament this week and has begun with a easy straight sets win in round 1. Hopefully he can play well.

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.
 
#19 ·
:lol: just as we mention his consistency he has a first round loss and a disappointing one too. Perhaps he wasn't 100%.
 
#20 ·
John has played a lot of events, so he is allowed an early loss. He works very hard and might be a bit off at the moment.
 
#21 ·
John is having some shoulder problems, flying back to Australia, to have some MRI scans.

He has had the shoulder operated on before, just hope it's not serious.
 
#22 ·
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.
