Week 40 - Challenger ($100,000) - Sacramento, CA, USA (Hard)

QR1: (q3) Liam Broady WR 286 v Antonio Massara (ITA) WR 1394 (CH 1166 in Jun)

Jaffa · Challenger level

Great chance to get a cheap 5 points for Liam, then one win in the MD would bring him the same points haul as last week.

But lets not get ahead of ourselves, eh!?

Liam going along nicely, leading 6-4 4*-2

QR1: (q3) Liam Broady WR 286 beat Antonio Massara (ITA) WR 1394 (CH 1166 in Jun) by 4 & 5

He'll play the winner of a QWC v QWC match in QR2

steven · Tennis legend

Ouch!

L32: Kyle Edmund WR 242 v (1) Sam Querrey (USA) WR 54 (CH 17 in 2011)

H2H 0-1 - Querrey won 7-6(5) 6-3 in Eastbourne earlier this year

Btw, to expand on what has already been said on the Falun thread, Ed Corrie will jump to GB no. 3 on Monday week unless Kyle beats Querrey or Liam makes the semi-finals here, either as a Q or a LL.

Good luck Kyle!

Silly prediction time. Querrey wins Napa (W39), withdraws from Sacramento with fatigue and Kyle beats a LL in R1.

I did wonder about that possibility myself LOL - odds against Kyle v Liam (as a Q or LL) in R1? wink

QR2: (q3) Liam Broady WR 286 v (wc) Lovedeep Singh (USA) UNR

Singh is a local 20-year-old who is playing his first ATP-ranked event for 2 years.

Is that his real name or have I accidentally been forwarded to a dodgy website? smile

My thoughts exactly.

FQR: (q3) Liam Broady WR 286 v Alexander Ritschard (SUI) WR 905 (CH 648 in 2013)

H2H 1-0 - Liam won 3 & 2 at Roehampton Juniors in 2012

FQR: (q1) Liam Broady & Jordan Thompson (AUS) CR 558 (286+272) (*) vs (q2) Sebastian Bader & Erik Elliott (AUT/USA) CR 784 (251+533)

(*) As a result of their heroics in Napa last week, Liam has risen 19 places in today's rankings, Jordan 13

Liam & Jordan had a bye a QR1, while the q2s were given a walkover. If the boys qualify, they will face Alex Bolt & Frank Dancevic (CR 618...) in the first round of the main draw.
