Week 30 Challenger - Granby ($50k+H) - Canada
(

Boggo is the reigning champion here, but whether or not he will play is touch and go, obviously. Evo is definitely in, either as a late DA or as a special exempt since he is still playing in Lexington. Meanwhile,as with all tournaments held in Québec (it seems), the qualifying draw is ridiculously wea...

QR1: (q3) Dan Cox WR 478 v (WC) Sergey Sukhov (RUS) UNR A seeding in qualifying was the best Dan could realistically hope for when he entered, and he's got a very reasonable draw here, with (5) Artur Chernov (RUS) WR 599 the highest-ranked player standing in the way of a place in the main draw. Good luck!...

I want this thread here and not in the General section just because it involves Evans in a major way. Do players actually care about being t...
