RE: Week 32 - Challenger ($100,000) - Nordic Naturals Challenger, Aptos, CA (hard)


SF:  (3) Jonathan Erlich (ISR) & Neal Skupski CR 171 (88+83) vs (LL) Ruben Bemelmans & Joris de Loore (BEL/BEL) CR 626 (275+351)

On the face of it, a good chance for Neal & Jonathan to reach the final, but the Belges dumped out the second seeds, big Sam Groth & Scott Lipsky, by 4 & 4 in the first round & overnight saw off Roelofse & Rungkat in three...

QF:  (Q) Liam Broady WR 336 vs Raymond Sarmiento (USA) WR 295 (= CH)

Sarmiento beat Quentin Halys in three sets in his second round match.  Halys had dumped out the seventh seed, Casper Ruud, in three sets in the first round.  There is now only one seed left in the draw, Tennys Sandgren (6).  disbelief


According to some guy on Twitter who goes by the name of Steven (wink), Liam has already beaten Sarmiento once this year in Gimcheon qualies.

Just checked back to see it was QR1 and Liam won that one 6-1 6-3

Edit

I also predict that the last seed will fall in the next round and we will have a Seedless SF line up.  Sandgren faces Taylor Fritz.

Should at that as well as the substantial points haul and some decent money, there is an SE place at stake for the winner next week in Vancouver.

After Sarmiento was coming into the match as the 1st set went on I expected a tight start to the 2nd. But a couple of DFs and Broady is *1-0 up.

Sarmiento got off to a slow start in the 1st    set - Liam maintained a decent level and took the first set.   I have to say that Sarmineto looks the better player now though.

Sarmiento throws in a horror game though and Liam breaks. He will serve at *4-3
