Main Draw R Searle vrs Rastogi (No 1 seed!!!) no. 383 in world J Kinsella vrs A Singh (No 7 seed) no. 746 in world (8)M Smith vrs Punna no. 975 in world
R2: (Q) Jonathan Kinsella UNR lost to Hsin-Han Lee (TPE) WR 762 by 3 & 3 R2: (8) Matt Smith WR 751 beat Purav Raja (IND) WR 887 by 3 & 4
QF: (8) Matt Smith WR 751 v Tsung-Hua Yang (TPE) WR 1055
This is Matt's first QF this year and he has struck it lucky, because his QF opponent is outside the top 1000 and only got through R2 because the no. 2 seeds retired.

He's had a fair few decent victories over a couple of Japanese and Indonesian players with the highest being ranked about 550. Most of the others have been around 800-1100 in the rankings.
Yang hasn't won a match this year either (he's had two matches on clay and lost them both)
QF: (8) Matt Smith WR 751 lost to Tsung-Hua Yang (TPE) WR 1055 by 1 & 0
Matt's first QF this year and it looked like he had struck it lucky too, because his QF opponent was outside the top 1000 and only got through R2 because the no. 2 seed retired.
However, he fed Matt a breadstick followed by a bagel, a stunningly bad result. I wonder if Matt was unwell or something.

As Arka said, he shouldn't have been underestimated to be at that ranking at just 16. He could be anything, who knows how talented he will prove to be.
