I couldn't find a thread for this tournament, but: Oliver Levi lost in the opening qualifying round Josh Paris is here and play was delayed yesterday, but they are playing now: L32: Josh Paris WR1183 v Tom Ziv (ISR) (WC) UNR Josh took the opening set 6-2
Luke Hammond is the one British player left in the Far East, and as Matt commented in last week's thread, is in a loaded G2. It's uncommon to have a top 10 ranked player in a G2, but this has 2, since Korea has two players who were ranked 3 and 4 last week. If Luke wins his opener he is likely to face one of them, Y...
I see that he is going to change partners next season. Teaming up with Brazilian, Doubles World number 23, Bruno Soares. Interesting. I wonder who's decision it was to split Murrays or Peers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/34590356
Of the seven Brits in Osaka Katie and Alexis moved to Thailand while the other five decamped here, with none staying for the Japanese G2. Luke Hammond has joined the five, and is on a 15 match unbeaten run thanks to 3 consecutive titles in Southern Africa. Luke's round 1 opponent reached the G3 Sarawak f...
I'm in Agios Nikolaos at the end of the week. Maybe we'll still have some Brits in action to pop over and see... QR1: (q6) Aswin Lizen vs BYE QR1: Matthew Hingley UNR vs Henrik Traksen (LTU) UNR
In the first Q draw that was put up, Joel was top Q seed. But now the top two spots of the draw are both BYEs. So no seed 1, nor opponent. I'm hoping this means that Joel has been moved into the main draw (along with Jamie W, Richard, Bambo, Alex Jhun, and Robbie R). Meanwhile: QR1:Maniel BAINS (GBR) 6-3 6-...
Another one with a good smattering of Brits, and a good first round showing by all: Boys R1: Joe TYLER (GBR) 6-1 7-6(6) Georgii KRAVCHENKO (UKR) Jake HERSEY (GBR) [4] 6-1 6-2 Emilis RUSAKEVICIUS (LTU) Will DAVIES (GBR) 7-6(1) 7-5 Roni RIKKONEN (FIN) Girls R1: Alice GILLAN (GBR...
In Canada, G5, Emile Hudd (born 2000) won his first round match: R1: Emile HUDD (GBR) [7] 6-1 6-1 Dickson ZHUANG (CAN) In Sri Lanka (G5), the two 2001 girls got drawn against seeds straight off, and posted decent scores but couldn't get the wins: R1: Da Ye KIM (KOR) [4] 7-5 6-1 Jonea BACH (G...
L32: (2) James Ward WR 157 v Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan (IND) WR 424 (CH 293 in 2014) The Indian is a former top 10 junior who then went to college in the US - a sort of Indian Cam Norrie, if you like.
There are a remarkable 4 G2 events this week, with this the weakest. Alexis Canter is trying to take advantage. In the girls draw my attention was drawn (by an unusual flag) to a couple of Nepalese qualifiers, who turn out to be 14 year old twins. If either of them make it to the last 16 it looks like they wil...
FQR: (q5) James Marsalek WR 645 v (q4) Romain Barbosa (POR) WR 487 Only 11 players signed in for qualifying. Edit: Barbosa's the q4. -- Edited by Stircrazy on Friday 16th of October 2015 11:40:31 PM
R32: Liam Broady WR 205 v (1) Austin Krajicek (USA) WR 97 (=CH) R32: Dan Evans WR 263 v Alexander Sarkissian (USA) WR 193 (CH = 184) Both in the same quarter. A less than ideal draw for Mr Broady ... or an opportunity to do something extraordinary. Whoever wins that 1st round has a qualifier or Marek Michal...
The draw has been made for this G2 though qualifying (involving Max Stewart and Barnaby Smith) has yet to complete. Ewan and Jack get the two Spanish Junior Davis Cup players mentioned in last week's G3 thread (Fokina lost in the final). Nastya gets a tough draw against the world no. 25, finalist in a co...
A lot of our Spanish based players are here: In the boys: R1: Ryan GASKIN (GBR) 6-1 7-6(6) Ali BOUGHABA (MAR) Tomorrow, Alex Carlos Parker and Harry Butler play. In the girls, we have second seed, Lauryn John-Baptiste, Chelsea Samways (8th seed) and Summer Yardley all taking part. It'll be in...
