Good performance from most of the boys in qualifying this week, hopefully it will continue today

Grundon · Intermediate Club Player

Both Brits won their 3rd match in qualifying

WIRE, Richard d. SARKISSIAN, Alexander USA 6-4 7-6(5)
KINSELLA, Jonathan d. ****RIT, Matan WC USA 6-3 3-6 7-6(2)

Wire plays RUIZ-ROSALES, Antonio (MEX) 7 and Kinsella plays SINITSYN, Kirill (CAN) 8 for a place in the main draw

XCW4EVA · County player

Good run for both guys, still can't believe that they will win 4 matches and not earn a single ranking point

Drew · Sep 10, 2007

5 matches for a point...whats the point.....!

I think on a 128 draw you should get 1 point for qualifying.

XCW4EVA · County player

I second that idea, but i think its not the atp's problem, i think its the usta's problem. Its a stupid idea for a federation to have 128 qualies field. Can a country have two futures events in 1 week.

Kinsella came through to qualify but Wire fell at the last hurdle.

Not a great draw though for Jonathon against 8th seed Elizondo from Mexico....but at least he will be used to the courts!!

Do you get more money for winning more qualy matches in a 128 draw ?

Well done Kinsella...hope wire gets a LL ?

Drew · Sep 12, 2007

No results so far....and no LL spot for wire.

Unfortunately Kinsella lost 6-4 4-6 7-5, but clearly a close match, and he took a set off someone ranked nearly 800 places above him.
