Shocked that Watson isn't here.

Also why aren't Cornish or Vicky playing qualies? So did they go to the US for just one week? Or are they looking at colleges or something like that?

Coxy gets a joke draw overall, with Arevalo being one of the most overranked players in modern times. Nice draw for Willis as well, although Smethurst is not that lucky.





There will be a Livestream.

R3
Mikhail BIRYUKOV (RUS) Vs Daniel SMETHURST (GBR) (14)
Mirza BASIC (BIH) (9) Vs Neil PAUFFLEY (GBR)
Marcus WILLIS (GBR) (7) Vs Dominik SCHULZ (GER)
Marcelo AREVALO (ESA) (5) Vs Daniel COX (GBR)

I know that Vicky is going to college - Yale I believe - and Steph is probably looking too. Random answer to the question above..

Quarter finals:

Daniel Smethurst [43] vs. Pablo Carreno-Busta [34] of Spain
Marcus Willis [25] vs. Takanyi Garanganga [79] of Zimbabwe



Carreno-Busta (sounds like the name of a rapper) plays Juniors regularly, which is unique for a Spaniard. He has picked up a Grade 1 title on clay this year, but doesn't have much experience on hard. Smethurst should win this.

Garanganga is badly overranked. Willis should beat him.

Possible, but you can get SEs through doubles, too, I think.




*Checks rulebook*




"Players who cannot appear in the qualifying of a tournament because they are
competing on the day that the qualifying competition begins in another qualified
tournament who apply for and receive exemption from qualifying as hereinafter
provided. A qualified tournament is the singles and/or doubles event of another ITF
Junior Circuit tournament, an ITF Womens Circuit / WTA Tour tournament or an ITF
Mens Circuit / ATP Challenger / Tour tournament within the same continent."

Although there's a likelyhood that many players skipped this (Watling, Heather etc.) or tanked as you can miss this because you lost on the day of qualies draw and the travel took too long. Montreal and New York are a good 330 miles apart!

im still not sure its right t clap when your favourite player loses, no matter what your opinion on his scheduling, but this is an old argument that theres no point in starting again.

But it's in the best interests of Coxy's career that he loses as fast as possible in any Junior event he plays. That way he can be fresher for tournaments he should be playing.

Don't think it's just an opinion any more, isn't it? That was last year this time - now it's a fact that has been proven countless times.

 

 

 

Smethurst lost by 67(5) 64 62.
