Nice to see Jonny back from his injury, but a couple of unfortunate draws albeit in what looks a very packed draw for an ATP 250. It doesn't look like Jamie Murray is playing this week, as Soares is the top seed with Melo. L16: (4) Mate Pavic & Michael Venus (CRO/NZL) CR 72 (33+39) vs Ken Skuspki &...
Although we only have on girl in the main draw (Lilly Mould, age 14), the boys are very well represented with: Ben Heynold, Cameron Bowie, Andrew Rozanov, Hamish Stewart, Rahul Dhokia, Luke Simkiss and Bradley Buckland all in the main draw. (Jonas Salem and Yemisi Ifederu got knocked out in qualis)
One DA, one qualifier and both Brits play wild cards in R1 QR1: (q8) Rhett Purcell WR 1970 beat Alex Espositos (AUS) UNR by & 1 FQR: (q8) Rhett Purcell WR 1970 beat (q9) Wang Aoran (CHN) WR 2057 (CH 1276 in 2015) by 5 & 3 L32: Matthew Brooklyn WR 1364 v (WC) Thien Nguyen Hoang (VIE) WR 2002...
Usually there are a cluster of Brits for this Grade A tournament and subsequent G2 events, but this year there is just Emily Appleton, having used a $10K event in Indonesia as warm-up. Emily is in the same quarter as top seed and Wimbledon champion Anastasia Potapova (who she lost to at Roland Garros),...
Came here to post the main draw but I can't find a thread with Friday's qualifying draw anywhere - apologies if there already is one and I've missed it. QR2: (q1) Lloyd Glasspool WR 287 v Ruan Roelofse (RSA) UNR (CH 357 in 2012) QR2: (q2) Liam Broady WR 293 v (wc) Ruben Alberts (RSA) WR 1752 (CH 1748 in Sep) L...
QR1: Toby MARTIN (GBR) [q8] 6-1 5-7 6-1 Paolo DAGNINO (ITA) UNR QR2: Toby MARTIN (GBR) [q8] WR 1162 (CH 641 June '15) 6-2 6-1 Robin LANG (GER)WR 2037 (CH 1310 a year ago)
Zyaan Ahmed is in the main draw. And in the girls, there's Alexandra Hunter as top seed, Donia Abdel-Aziz (3), Charlotte Navinweinstein and Morgan Cross (7).
This event was held in the break between the recent Aussie 25Ks and the Aussie 50K in week 43. An AMT (= Australian Money Tournament) Platinum event is broadly the equivalent of a British Tour Premier event but this one had a very strong field, since those playing the 25Ks & 50K had nowhere else to g...
Joe has a good partner (CH 139) this week but is up against players with CH's of 207 and 155, Seeberger being his partner from the last two tournaments. L16: Joe Cooper & Jose Statham (NZL) CR 2053 (1448+605) v (2) Sebastian Bader & Matt Seeberger (AUT/USA) CR 1257 (667+590)
As we only had two starters here, I'd normally have put it in an 'other' thread. But with so many youngsters playing in the half-term week(s) (or pre-half term week), all the events have their own threads. So here's Brazil on its own. And it warrants one as, being a G3, points are high and young Erika, for...
Great win for Jonnie Binding (he of Evo-beating fame), beating the top Q seed : QR1: Jonathan BINDING (GBR) 6-0 6-3 Christopher TRAUT (GER) QR2: Jonathan BINDING (GBR) UNR 6-1 6-4 Roy Sarut DE VALK (NED) [q1] WR 1119 (CH 1000 in July)
QR1: (q2) Kyle Edmund WR 54 (= CH) vs (qWC) He Yecong (CHN) WR 575 (CH = 492 in June) Youzhny's the top seed, but Kyle won't have to play him, obviously. His FQR opponent is either another qWC, Gao Xin (WR 469), or the Serbian q10, Dusan Lajovic (WR 76).
QR1: (q1) Cam Norrie WR 279 (CH = 278 at the end of last month) vs Farzin Danny Amiri (USA) WR 1929 (CH = 1180 in April) QR1: (q3) Lloyd Glasspool WR 287 (CH = 282 in July) vs Hendrik Jebens (GER) WR 1378 (CH = 1368 early last month) QR1: Jan Choinski (GER) WR 460 (CH = 392 in March) vs (q7) Brydan Klein WR 349 (CH =...
One of the closest Challengers to the UK but only one Brit seems to be giving it a go (admittedly, most of the likely lads are in the western US at the moment!) - a 19-year-old whose two previous forays in ATP-ranked events were QR1 losses in French Futures events earlier this year: QR1: (wc) Stuart Parke...
