Week 17- Challenger- Manta, Ecuador-$35K+H
(
1 2 3 4 5 … 13
)
(Preview)
Jamie must've made the Main Draw here. The No.1 seed in qualifying is Roman Valent who was 31st Alt. I'm guessing this event has been affected by the travelling problems, as the qualifying draw includes only 6 world ranked players, and 2 of these are ranked 1200+. Also 12 players have been given QWCs!...

Rough or smooth? Something very unusual.....

I was playing last night and something bizarre happened: my partner span his racket "rough or smooth?" only for it to land edge on! Has anyone else had that happen or heard of it it happening? I just wish it was on video, we'd make a fortune on Utube.... Steve
