Rumler is the just-turned-15-year-old who beat Josh Milton last week. Hopefully Flembo can put him back in his place...

Bit of a bugger for Dr No getting drawn with Lustig in his section - Lustig having reached last week's final. cry

In fact its got to be extremely rare that both the previous week's finalists appear in the following week's qualifying draw. Last week's champion, Vik, joining Lustig in the qualy draw.

Bit of a bugger for Dr No getting drawn with Lustig in his section - Lustig having reached last week's final.

And Lustig it is:

QR1: (q3) Colin Fleming WR 659 beat WC Robert Rumler (CZE) UNR 6-4 6-2
QR1: WC Matej Kracik (CZE) UNR lost to (q14) David Rice WR 939 2-6 2-6
QR1: (q8) Josh Milton WR 757 beat Deni Zmak (CRO) WR 1925 6-4 6-4

FQR: (q3) Colin Fleming WR 659 vs Denis Bejtulahi (SRB) WR 1179 (the latter saw off the Polish q11, Kowalczyk [WR 838], 7-6(7) 5-7 7-6(4) in QR1!)
FQR: (q14) David Rice WR 939 vs (q5) Daniel Lustig (CZE) WR 715
FQR: (q8) Josh Milton WR 757 vs (q10) Karel Triska (CZE) WR 820

Colin & Josh seem to have eminently winnable matches...

Hope that's not jinxing their chances! Best of luck to all three, especially David.

David is second match on court 3 after another singles. The other two don't play until later, not before 13.00 local time. Hope they can do it.

Triska's a funny one. He won a Futures title in May (second of his career), and then proceeded to lose his next 7 matches.

In fact he's only won 3 matches since May (+ yesterday's).

Last week was Josh's first for 12 tournaments that his hasn't reached the 2nd Round of the Main Draw!

seagull · Hall of fame

Good news so far:

Milton won 6-2, 7-6(1)

Rice won 6-3, 2-0 ret

seagull · Hall of fame

And Fleming wins 7-5, 7-5 to make it 3/3!!

Portsey · Intermediate Club Player

....And in taking a look at the ITF main draw i see Colin Fleming's name, so all 3 through! Great news! biggrin

No idea on Colin's score however.

Also noticed the most unfortunate draw for the patient Jonny Marray, he's landed the number 1 seed

Well done Josh, David & Colin on qualifying! smile

1st Round

Jonathan MARRAY [WR:458] (GBR) Vs Jaroslav POSPISIL (CZE) (1) [WR:227]
Joshua MILTON [WR:755] (GBR) Vs Petar JELENIC (CRO) [WR:789]
David RICE [WR:940] (GBR) Vs Marin BRADARIC (CRO)[WR:644]
Colin FLEMING [WR:658] (GBR) Vs Lado CHIKHLADZE (GEO) [WR:1159]

Good draws for our 3 qualifiers. smile

But this week Marray draws the Top Seed in the 1st Round rather than the 2nd Round. blankstare

Still Jonny's got to have chance against that sort of ranked player.
