Week 46 - Helsinki Challenger, Finland - $50K+H -hard

Sheddie · administrator

What a stunning win for Bloomers....last two weeks of the season for him (?), so needs some wins to secure a Aussie Open qualies place....currently on the brink at 299

Stadler was a tough opponent, top 200 and with a big leftie serve...he's gone deep regularly in challengers this year and won rounds in several ATPs...beat Donald Young in straights recently

Should be able to make quarters now and then there'd probably be 2nd seed Darcis who's ranked 101 but is beatable on this surface

Looks like a great win for Bloomers there, and hopefully this can re-start his season and he can have a good 2 or 3 weeks to set his up for next year. Stadler is a good scalp for him with the way he has playeds recently, so this coudl be what he needed

It looks as though it will be Martin Fischer to play Bloomers next round. He's beaten Laaksonen 6-3 6-2. No OoP for tomorrow as yet.

'Tis up now.

Bloomers v Fischer is third match in the afternoon.

Actually, mjd, it's a noon start for the first match: Helsinki is two hours ahead of London! wink

And only the results of the matches on the central court appear on the home page as & when, so no "live" scores as such for the other courts (results there, I've discovered, appear in the draw only when the people responsible for updating the site see fit to do so! hmm

).

Oops! (Blush) You can see what I did - I added the 2 hours difference instead of subtracted - I think I would have realised tomorrow wink

There has been live scores today - on betting site, quite good, including point by point, deuce, adv etc - I actually followed the Fischer match. But cant remember if they included both courts!

Livescore Here

Fischer is ranked 281 but given how high Bloomers has been he should win this.....Fischer musn't be underestimated though, he made quarters of the Barnstaple challenger and then lost a close match to Darcis (wr:101)

Unfortunately they are only covering score on Centre court

Bad News-

Fischer beat Bloomfield 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-5

Hope they made a mistake with the score again !

Bloomers just edged out at the end there.

Hopefully a mistake, but I doubt it somehow

Also, Sheddie, by the end of your post I still didn't have any idea who you thought should win!!

Oh no, what a chance that was cry
