Just two qualifying rounds here:

QR1: Christopher Harfield UNR v (q5) Patrik Rosenhom (SWE) WR 1810

Poldma is quite good. Was a top Junior once (beat Coxy in three sets in Junior Wimbledon 2005) and now plays for a college - I think it's a terrible draw in the form of an unranked player.

Still, Kyle surely has a great chance.

Poor day...

QR1: (q2) Kyle Brassington WR 1181 lost to Jaak Poldma (EST) UNR 6-3 6-3
QR1: Christopher Harfield UNR lost to (q5) Patrik Rosenhom (SWE) WR 1810 6-3 6-2

Not very surprised at Kyle losing. I've read in many places that Poldma was a good bet for the top 150, but chose to go to college instead. Probably because of the lack of funding...

R1
Edward Seator (1) WR 503 v Patrik Rosenholm (Swe) (q) WR 1810
Matthew Illingworth WR 1027 v Jaak Poldma (Est) (q) UNR

Winner of he above matches to play each other in R2.

Ed & Shane Le Porte are the top seeds in the doubles, Matt & Ralph Grambow are the 4th seeds, and they are scheduled to meet in the semis.

Given comments about Poldma above, what a rubbish draw!

Salmon · Tennis legend

Illingworth lost by 2 and 0.

Ed plays tomorrow.

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Ouch!

What looked to be a good choice of tournament with no top 500 players is turning into a disaster with the nightmare draws they've got, and it doesn't look like Ed will get past the second round here

steven · Tennis legend

What a nightmare - looks like Poldma is on for the triple Brit bash here cry

Just the draw Edward needed having done some what you'd think was inspired tournament selection and got himself the no. 1 seeding. Hope he at leasts gets through R1 and gets a point, and you never know in R2, but I don't like his chances.

the women are here same week with tough draws and horrible losses also

Drew · Jun 10, 2008

Good news at last...

L32: Edward Seator (1) WR 503 def Patrik Rosenholm (Swe) (q) WR 1810 6-1 6-1

L16: Edward Seator (1) WR 503 v Jaak Poldma (Est) (q) UNR

Salmon · Tennis legend

Lovely!

This shows some form, I guess. Good luck against Poldma and I'm sure he is beatable.

steven · Tennis legend

A nice way to celebrate the announcement of his Wimby Q WC

- I wouldn't be surprised to see him get thrashed by Poldma too, but we don't know exactly how well Poldma is playing and Edward seemd to do pretty well in Surbiton, so I hold out some hope that he might manage to prevent the triple Brit-bash!
