Week 18 - Futures F9 (10k) - Vero Beach FL, USA
Permalink  

QR2: Amar Vora UNR v Bjorn Munroe (BAH) WR 1764 or Joey B Burkhardt (USA) UNR
QR2: Matthew Short UNR v (q11) M Rioux (CAN) WR 1145

19-year-old Vora played in QR1 in Bath and Jersey, losing 1 & 3 and 0 & 2 respectively. 18-year-old Short played in Futures qualifying in the US five times last year and never failed to win a match, though getting a bye in QR1 and then coming up against a seed straight away here may end that record.

QR2: Amar Vora UNR lost to Joey B Burkhardt (USA) UNR by 0 & 0 cryashamed
QR2: Matthew Short UNR beat (q11) M Rioux (CAN) WR 1145 by 2 & 3 biggrin

QR3: Matthew Short UNR v Sergio Rojas (PER) WR 1477 - winner likely to meet (q4) Marcus Fugate (USA) WR 816

It's bad enough losing to someone called Joey B Burkhardt, but to get double bagelled by him ... wink

However, against expectations, Matthew keeps up his record of winning at least one round every time he enters Futures qualifying - this guy is going to end up ranked before too long, hopefully smile but probably not this week because - I thought I remembered the name so checked on ITF - Fugate is the guy who beat James Ward in the Little Rock QFs earlier this month!

(for some reason, all his Little Rock results appear on ITF twice - see http://www.itftennis.com/mens/players/activity.asp?player=100036646)

Amar means 'immortal'. No relevance with the discussion, I know...


Congrats to Short!

Still, at least he's winning a match each time - isn't that how Morgan first caught our attention in Spain before he started picking up ranking points?
