Eaton.

He now plays Desein, who has improved a lot this year, but is definitely beatable.

Doubles R1

Eaton / Ward d. Bessenov / Zhyrmont (Blr) 7-6(4), 5-7, 10-8

Their opponents surely must have set the record for the latest alternates to come into the tournament, 1 day before it was due to be completed!

Doubles Q/F

Krotiouk / Lif****s (Rus) d. Ward / Eaton 6-4, 6-4

Singles S/F

Chris Eaton [738] v Niels Desein (Bel) (3) [372]

Lol, L-i-f-s-h-i-t-s got censured.

I thought Miles would lose that one....watched Bemelmans at Redbridge and he really pushed Voltchkov....he's a Feli Lopez lookalike...leftie who hits with a lot of topspin, really good serve..movement isnt great though

Impressive stuff from Eaton ! In the past 6 months he's really beefed up his game...serve is a lot more of a weapon, can hit some stunning winners off both sides....from what Ive seen, he blows hot and cold in matches...has a run of games where he's unplayable then suddenly the errors start to creep in again

Up to 660ish now...in top 700 for first time.

Niels DESEIN (BEL) (3) defeated Chris EATON (GBR) 7-5 4-6 6-3

Good week from Eaton, and didn't roll over in that semi either!

all belgian final - and think of the size of their nation compared to ours! (our 4 nations!)

Sheddie · administrator

Decent performance from Chris in that semi, Desein is ranked a lot higher and has made 3 futures finals this year and it looks like first two sets could have gone either way. He's starting to match these kinda guys regularly now...another one in the 500-700 range to watch out for, along with Slabba, Kasiri, Ward and Skupski

The 3 Brits should again have a good chance of going deep in next week's 10K...the only guy in that field who really stands out is Harel Levy (former top 30).....apart from him, most of the other guys are beatable on a good day
