L32: Ed Corrie WR 362 (CH = 215 in October 2015) vs Philip Bester (CAN) WR 360 (CH = 225 in July last year) L32: Brydan Klein WR 271 (CH = 169 last September) vs Andrey Golubev (KAZ) WR 195 (CH = 33 in October 2010 - he's 29)
Hi Guys You may remember back in November fans were invited to Tweet or Post their message of support or their name for Team GB before they played the final against Belgium. Some of those names were then picked and printed on the jackets which the players wore.... Anyway I've been lucky enough to obtai...
The venue is known as "Orense" in castellano - "Ourense" is its Galician name. QR1: Mario Paccini (ESP) UNR (CH = 1729 last September) vs (qWC) Raamin Solland UNR QR1: BYE vs (q12) Oliver Hudson WR 2133 (CH = 986 in April 2012) Mark Whitehouse should again be in the main draw.
QR1: (qWC) Grega Boh UNR vs James Marsalek WR 639 (CH = 537 in May 2013) The winner of that match takes on the q1, Edan Leshem (ISR) WR 392, in QR2. QR1: BYE vs (q5) Dan Cox WR 546 (CH = 206 in July 2014) Dan will face an unranked Slovenian WC or the Mexican, Mauricio Astorga (WR 1117), in QR2.
The boys had more fortune than the girls in the draw for the first European Summer Cups (u14) and avoided the top qualifying seed (Czech Republic) until today, by which time qualification had been assured. The team of Benjamin Heynold, Barney Fitzpatrick and Toby Samuel beat Portugal 3-0 and Poland...
QR1: Scott Duncan UNR (CH = 1739 in August 2013) vs Berk Iliescu (TUR, but with a surname like that, must be of Romanian extraction) UNR (CH = 1664 in January 2014)
You can't fault the lad for his willingness to have a go, but what a rotten draw: QR1: (q3) Austin Krajicek (USA) WR 130 (CH = 94 last October) vs Lloyd Glasspool WR 282 (= CH) Go, Lloyd! Give him what for! Shame about USO qualies.
Maria Budin is top seed here. Charlotte Navinweinstein has a wc but has drawn the second seed. Aleksandra Topalovic has been drawn against the 8th seed. (Graziella Barrett, Vicki Subev, Jack Navinweinstein and Nathan Fernandes lost in qualifying).
There are tons of GB youngsters playing all over the place this week. And a huge cohort of them seem to have descended on Portugal. In the Boys, there are: James Story and Joe White - who lost their last rounds in Q but who both got in as LLs; Seeds (1) Jack Molloy; (2) Joe Tyler; (3) Will Davies; (7) Emile Hu...
The first of the European Summer Cups, the under 14s, concluded qualifying today for the finals, as the tournament acts as a qualifier for the World Juniors in August. The draws for these are something of a lottery, and unfortunately we ended up in a group where we add to face one of the four strongest n...
