Week 16 - Futures F15 (10K) - Melilla, Spain
Permalink  

He was on the Alt list for the Florianopolis Challenger this week, but in fact, making another inspired choice, Edward has returned to Africa to play a Future on the Spanish enclave of Melilla, where he is the top seed in qualifying. Probably because of its location, this is one Spanish Future that Morgan hasn't decided to go to, though if he had, he'd have had a good chance of another point!

QR1: Alexander Ward UNR v Arzhang Derakhshani (USA) UNR - winner to play (q5) Marco Bella (ITA) WR 1114

QR1: (WC) Adam Lawton UNR v Miguel Gonzalez (ESP) UNR - winner to play (q12) S Penades-Sanz (ESP) WR 1428

QR2: (q1) Edward Seator WR 503 v Allen Perel (AUS) UNR or Jonathan Florez-Cohen (ESP) UNR - the other seed in the section is (q14) Arnaud Agniel (FRA) WR 1573

QR2: (q4) David Rice WR 1111 v Manuel Molina-Martinez (ESP) UNR - the other seed in the section is (q16) C Gomez-Herrera (ESP) WR 1722

Possibly not such great schedulingafter all, I've just realised - Edward would have been a DA here if he had entered in the first place. However, hopefully he will get through qualifying without too much trouble and the good news is that if he does so, he should be the no. 2 seed in the main draw!

No idea. This was his first-ever ITF match and I can't find any reference to him with a Google search. Given that he got a WC, maybe he lives in Melilla or something and is attached to the tennis club there.

He might just be (fleetingly!) the only Brit with a 100% record in professional tennis matches.

Here are the qualifying results that led to the above - brilliant win for Alexander in QR2! biggrin

QR2: Alexander Ward UNR beat (q5) Marco Bella (ITA) WR 1114 by 2 & 3 biggrin
QR2: (WC) Adam Lawton UNR lost to (q12) S Penades-Sanz (ESP) WR 1428 by 3 & 2 cry

FQR: (q1) Edward Seator WR 503 beat (q14) Arnaud Agniel (FRA) WR 1573 by 5-7 6-2 7-5 smile
FQR: (q4) David Rice WR 1111 lost to (q16) C Gomez-Herrera (ESP) WR 1722 by 6-4 1-6 7-5 cry
FQR: Alexander Ward UNR beat Carlos Cuenca-Navarro (ESP) UNR by 6-4 3-6 6-4 smile

Main draw as above plus a little more detail:

L32: (1/Q) Edward Seator WR 503 v J Such-Perez (ESP) WR 863 - (5) Rudy Coco (FRA) WR 631 is the other seed in an otherwise very weak quarter
L32: (Q) Alexander Ward UNR v (4) Marc Sieber (GER) WR 599 - not a good reward for Ward
L32: Tom Rushby WR 699 v Ludwig Pellerin (FRA) WR 837 - winner likely to face (2) J Viloca-Puig (ESP) WR 509

Only Tom is down to play singles on Monday. David is first in line for a LL place.

What looked like it might be a good week for the Brits in singles (for a change) is steadily getting worse - Rushby withdrew ashamed and, what's worse, it looks like David Rice forgot to sign in a for a LL place ashamed (or do they assign them at random now?) and was replaced by a lower-ranked lucky loser who took a set off Pellerin, which suggests it was definitely a winnable match for Tom. bleh

Some good news - Coco lost, so Edward is the only seed left in his section. smile (this isn't the time to try the old GB trick of losing just as the draw opens up, Edward wink) Both he and Alexander play tomorrow.

At least Ward made a fight of it against the 4th seed, Sieber, going down in three sets 3-6 7-6(5) 3-6 cry but Edward seemed to have capitulated rather tamely after a mammoth 1st set losing 6-7(13) 1-6. furious
 
 All is not up, however, Ward and Rice are still contesting the doubles. Not as much kudos as the singles but... they're still in there. thumbsup.gif

Came on here to report those very results! hmm  Bad day at the office for Edward, whose sterling resistance seems simply to have crumbled after that first set! cry  Fingers crossed for the doubles boys, though ... pray.gifteamwork.gif

The competition in Spain is just so Fearce!

players ranked in the 800s are normally underanked because they've had to battle so hard for the points they've earned!

Its no coincidence that so many of our top players (Murray, Ward, Phillips and now Ricey) learnt their stuff over there
