Boys: J3 Almetievsk, Russia, indoor hard (Week 7)
(Preview)
The city of Almetievsk is in Tatarstan, deep inside Russia, and this event has attracted just 2 non-Russians in either main draw. One of them is Peter Alam, who unsurprisingly has teamed up with the other (a Swiss lad) for the doubles. Peter's round 1 match is last on court today. R1 (L32) (WC) Vladisla...
