Nobody drew a seed which is nice.

Miles seeded 8th and could meet Eaton in R2. Don't know anyone in James' quarter aside from Levy. Hoping he makes that match.

helki · Futures qualifying

Eaton is again tackling the doubles, he's seeded three, with Amir Weintraub (ISR). smile

Pity Eaton or Kasiri won't make it past round 2. cry

Miles' opponent is ranked 130 in Juniors.

Sheddie · administrator

Eaton-Kasiri should be a good one...on current form I'd go with Eaton to nick it in 3

Great day.

XCW4EVA · County player

Awesome, Come on boys i want 2/3 in the quaters

DJ · County player

3 might be a little ambitious, XCW, given that Miles and Chris meet! So, we've definitely one quarter-finalist; it's up to James, playing a seed ranked 70 or so places above him, as to whether 1 becomes 2.

CBV · Junior player

I think James can pull off a win tomorrow, he's been on decent form recently. In terms of Miles v Chris it will be a really interesting match. I would like to see miles come out on top though and push for that top 500 place before the end of the year.

I meant 2 out of 3, realize it probably seems more like 2 or 3 tho now.

DJ · County player

Sorry, XCW, I misunderstood.

R2

James Ward [605] v Andrei Mlendea (Rou) (7) [530]
Miles Kasiri [556] v Chris Eaton [738]

Q/F

Eaton / Weintraub (Isr) v Mashiach (Isr) / Yitzhaki (Isr)

XCW4EVA · County player

Come on Wardy, difficult but deifnately achievable match

R2

James Ward [605] d. Andrei Mlendea (Rou) (7) [530] 2-6, 6-3, 6-2
Miles Kasiri [556] d. Chris Eaton [738] 2-6, 6-4, 6-0

Q/F

Eaton / Weintraub (Isr) d. Mashiach (Isr) / Yitzhaki (Isr) 6-1, 6-4

Get in!!!!

Q/F

James Ward [605] v Harel Levy (Isr) (1) [177]
Miles Kasiri [556] v Amir Hadad (Isr) [839]

S/F

Eaton / Weintraub (Isr) v Hadad (Isr) / Levy (Isr) (2)

So I think the Brits so get together and devise a cunning plot on how to defeat Hadad and Levy. I seem to remember Eaton beat Hadad last week, but Hadad beat Eaton's doubles partner and 2nd seed Weintraub in the last round.
