Week 48 - Futures F5 (15k) - Ramat Hasharon 4, Israel

DJ · County player

I'm very sorry, I have to withdraw the comment I've just made about Chris Eaton's doubles ranking. I had counted 3 points for last week's reaching of the quarter-finals with James Ward, but I've since read Wolf's query about there, perhaps, being no points awarded for reaching the quarters of Futures doubles tournaments. I've just checked the ATP Rulebook 2007, and Wolf's surmise is correct - in 2007, zero points for winning your first round Futures doubles - doesn't seem fair, does it? However, the upshot is that Chris didn't gain 3 points last week, so has just 36, not the 39 with which I'd credited him - sorry, Chris and Chris' fans, which presumably means all our members.

*** ATP Doubles Ranking points will be awarded in Futures Tournaments beginning with
the semi-final round.

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.

Since Hadad had a tough battle to overcome Weintraub today (6-7(7) 7-6(5) 7-6(3)!!!) & plays his singles QF against Kasiri first thing tomorrow (09.00 GMT, likewise Levy vs Ward), maybe they'll be feeling ever so slightly jaded by the time they team up to take on Chris & Amir in the doubles SF (not before 11.00 GMT), so perhaps there's a glimmer of a chance there...

Miles won 6-4, 6-4!!

James lost 6-4, 6-2 against Levy...good effort

Eaton lost in doubles 7-5, 6-1

Next up for Miles is Todor Enev from Bulgaria ranked 357....if he wins he is in Top 500?

That's brilliant news for Miles and not bad from James either. It would be fantastic if we could finish the year on a high with Miles breaking that magical barrier!

Well done Miles.
Great to see him starting to do well in senior events.
I remember watching him in the wimby boys final and thinking he could be a decent player.
Looking forward to following his progress next year.

Miles is only defending 3 points in the first 3 months of next year so I am sure he will get there at some point

Not good enough, as in ...

Patience is a virtue Steven! (though I would love for kasiri to get there this week...one more match

)

Miles plays Todor Enev the Bulgarian 4th seed next. He's not lost a set yet and has won 1&2, 4&3 and 2&2 *gulp*

But he doesn't have the First-Brit-To-Reach-The-Top-500-In-Two-Years prize to motivate him so hopefully Miles can take him out

Great stuff from Miles good effort from Ward !!!!

Looks better for next year....this has largely been forgettable....and we still have Morgans return to wait for !!!

DUSTY DICK · Club Coach

Hopefully next year can be much better than this one.
We've lost quite a few names but there are some decent looking propects coming through.
The tide may turn.

Well, he has now, but unfortunately for Miles, it's the only one: he lost 2-6 6-2 0-6. Appears to have run out of steam in that final set after a good effort to get himself right back in it! cry
