Week 48 - Futures F2 (15K) - Fujairah, UAE


Wardy & Eaton are likely to be seeded in the main draw here and I think Jonny Kinsella has probably scraped a DA too - he was 1st Alt at the freeze deadline, which would usually end up meaning a main draw place and the 4th Alt is the top seed in qualifying of those who were on the Alt list in the first place.

QR2: (q2) Burnham Arlidge WR 887 v Marat Azhyppo (UKR) UNR or (WC) Rachid Alfalasi (UAE) UNR

There is no other ranked player in his section.

I've just noticed on Burnham's ITF record that he was born in Melbourne, just like Laura Robson. He must be a bit miffed that the Aussies haven't said they want him back too! wink

I probably did know and forgot, but I hadn't twigged that, like Laura, he was born in the home city of the AO.

Cavorting my services on other forums ... what could you possibly mean LOL

Well barring a real bad performance BA should make the MD unless he goes MIA enroute to the WC...

Burnham should win but I think Borsos could be a banana skin..pushed 2 ranked players, including Kinsella, fairly close last week

Oh no cry ...

FQR: (q2) Burnham Arlidge WR 887 lost to Oliver Borsos (HUN) UNR by 4-6 7-5 3-0 ret. doh

... except that it then says (note the Q, not an LL) ...

L32: Jonathan Kinsella WR 961 v (WC) Ali-Sherif al Marzooqi (UAE) UNR (CH 1345 in 2003)
L32: (5) Chris Eaton WR 386 v (Q) Mark Verryth (AUS) UNR
L32: (Q) Burnham Arlidge WR 887 v Tobias Klein (GER) WR 974
L32: (2) James Ward WR 291 v (Q) Oliver Borsos (HUN) UNR

These look like very nice R1 draws by the face of it, but how can Burnham and Borsos both be in the main draw as Qs when they played each other in the FQR ... I'm confused!

I hope Burnham is in there somehow though, and not injured.

Other 3 should make it through.

I reckon Burnham is a LL.

I know, not sure why it's not on their Challengers and Futures page, and using the UAE F2 code from last year isn't working (yet) ... it seems odd that he'd be an LL after pulling out of his FQR match injured, if that's what happened.

That's what the steveg links imply, but there's nothing about F2 on that site, and even the F1 OoPs are out of date. I'm sure some if not all of the Brits here will be in action tomorrow.

Latest draw doesn't have Burnham on it unfortunately.

Kinsella and Eaton both play today

I thought that might be what happened ... pity, and I hope whatever forced him to retire from his FQR match wasn't serious.
