QD2 :

PLATEVOET, Alex (BEL) v Ed Seator GBR

I got the draw wrong previously.

Ed won 6-4 6-4 and qualifies!

Ed and Shane won 6-1 6-3 in doubles R1


Both Brits play singles R1 tomorrow (Tuesday)

That's Ed defended his point from Sudan last year. He has 4 points to defend over the next 4 weeks, so important he keeps winning the odd match at all of these tournaments. An obvious chance to progress in the next round though, and a chance to push on yet further towards the top 500

Ed and dubs partner Shane La porte are in the dubs QF with a 2 set first rnd win and a 3 set 2nd rnd win !!!

Ed makes it through to the semis

Ed SEATOR (GBR) (6) d. Alexander REICHEL (USA) 4-6 7-5 2-0 Retired

He plays the Number 4 seed Accardo of Italy for a place in the final

On recent form, this should be fairly close. At Poland F7, Ed lost in the first round and Accardo went on to lose to Poch-Gradin in the final. At Poland F8, Accardo lost in the first round and it was Ed who lost in the final. Once again it was Poch-Gradin who triumphed.

Last week, Accardo made the quarters of Italy F30, however, the Poland tournament was the first time he's reached the quarters since April, and this is only the third time he's reached a semi all year, so Accardo is hardly a dominant force at this level and Ed should have a very good chance.
