QR2 :

THORNLEY, Sean (GBR) 5 v WC VEN VARELA, Francisco

Salmon · Tennis legend

No, he doesn't play Francisco Varela as Francisco Varela lost to Andres Varela in the first round. He plays Andres Varela as Andres Varela beat Francisco Varela in the first round.

wolf · Tennis legend

Were they related?

Salmon · Tennis legend

No idea. It's not on their ITF profiles, at least.

Grundon · Intermediate Club Player

Sean beat one of the Varelas 6-1 6-0 and plays Catriel Cabrera of Argentina for a place in the main draw

Salmon · Tennis legend

Good job there. Cabrera is unranked and has qualified for only one Futures this year, so Sean should win.

I must say that I am impressed by the fact that he's prepared to travel so much for points.

Great chance to qualify!

Thornley for top 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

johnnylad · Tennis legend

We have a guest surfing the britishtennis.net wave from Venezuela!

Hope you're having fun Sean!

Salmon · Tennis legend

Thornley won 7-5 3-6 7-5. Phew!

Main draw - http://www.atptennis.com/en/common/TrackIt.asp?file=http://www.atptennis.com/1/posting/2007/3397/mds.pdf

Sean plays local wild card Luiz David Martinez who is ranked only 1172 but is 1989 born and has been doing well in Futures recently. Thornley has a good chance, I think.

He plays dubs with Robert Varga.

it would be nice to think that thornley was reading from Venezuala, as long as he knows we are rooting for im

Sheddie · administrator

Well we've had several clicks from Caracas in Venezuala so I think it's pretty likely that Sean is reading this
