What a Sunday for Alan Wright, beating two players ranked around 400 places above him in one day! biggrin However, he still needs no less than three more wins to get a ranking point for his efforts - it's a hard life in 128-draw Futures qualifiers! bleh


The rest of QR3 and, I assume, QR4 will be played on Monday.

Ben Pritchard's results have picked up a little in recent weeks, hopefully he should get a ranking point soon. Alan Wright is on fire at the moment, came close to picking up a point in one of these monster draws couple of weeks ago and now hopefuly he can carry through the effort.

I really do wonder why players go for these 128 player qualies draw, must be soul-destroying to make it through and then lose in rd1. Maybe they thought it'd be weaker in Eastern Europe.

Both unfortunately fell at the 3rd hurdle. Ben lost 6-3, 6-3 to the 4th seed who went on to qualify and is ranked 800ish. Alan's loss was more disappointing 6-1, 7-6(11) against German Marius Alfs who's ranked in the 1300s

Does seem odd that they give themselves such a difficult job. Wonder if they'll hang about for Turkey F2?
