QR1: Lee Childs WR 429 lost to (q6) Jesse Huta Galung (NED) WR 345 by 4-6 6-3 6-4

This was always going to be a tough match and Lee did well to take the 1st set. Unfortunately, though, that was as good as it got.

As you say, Lee did well to win the first set. I thought it was going to be a straight sets drubbing. Lee must have upped his game from that disastrous performance in Besancon last week.

Huta-Galung has a sledgehammer of a forehand and outhit Jamie Baker and Boggo indoors last year so this was always going to be extremely tough.

I dunno why Lee is going for these challengers at the moment as he has little chance of qualifying. given his current form. Surely he'd be best to go for one of the 10Ks in Europe - Switzerland or Portugal where the fields are weaker and he has the chance to boost the confidence with some wins and points

Aaargh! Josh and Richard have drawn each other.

Oh wel,, it'll be interesting to see who wins and at least we're now sure of getting one of them through. Probably Karanusic for the winner and the top seed in that quarter is Navarro Pastor, so it's a R1 match well worth winning.

Kevin McDuffee buys another MD WC... and draws a qualifier...

Tourte is in MD. Maybe Childs has persuaded him to play dubs again?

Maybe Childs is playing these challengers with doubles in mind follwing Aucks, Murray and Hutchins into concetrating on doubles draws and trying qualifying where possible in singles?

Ouch, very nasty draw !

Should be an interesting match though between the British no 4 and British no 5. It will be their 6th match, Josh currently leads the head-to-head 3-2. All 5 encounters have been indoors and they've been extremely close. Josh won the first 3-6, 7-6, 6-2 in early 2005 and again in two tiebreaks later that year. He also took their first match in 2006 6-4, 3-6, 7-6(9) before Richard gained revenge a week later, winning 7-6, 6-2.

Richard will go into this one as the favourite, he's ranked 24 places higher and has made a challenger final already this year while Josh has yet to win in 2007 and is on a 5 match losing streak.

Both players have massive first serves but from the back of the court they have quite contrasting styles. Whilst Josh hits his groundstrokes sweeter than Richard, Richard is pretty consistent at keeping the ball in play. Josh is more of a flair player, he will strike more winners and make more errors and how much he leads on each of these stats will probably determine who wins.

This is terrible.
I like Richard a little bit more than Josh, but at the same time think that Josh deserves a win for all the hard work that he is putting in. No idea whom to shout for.

The draw has changed.

Ivo Minar withdraws, Bloomers up to 8th seed, moves in the draw and they are now apart!

Bloomers plays doubles with Childs.

R1 vs Peya/Uebel

Josh Goodall teams up with Jan Mertl (CZE) as 3rd seeds.

R1 vs Nielsen/Qureishi

No Hutchins and Tourte plays with Oger

That is good news. Hopefully the boys can both win their rd1 matches and beyond. On the less positive side we are no longer guarenteed a player in rd2!

i hope Josh can really make the most of this and jump start his 2007 season before its too late.
