[Colin] plays 6th seed Go Soeda in the 1st round. On paper the hardest draw but im pleased he avoided Taylor Dent.


That shouldn't be too difficult now:  he was taken out yesterday in two close (well, close until the actual tie-break games) sets by his compatriot & a qualifier, Jesse Witten (6-7(1) 6-7(2))! biggrin  Frank Dancevic (5) bombed out in straights sets, too, beaten 3 & 4 by the Austrian, Martin Fischer! smile

Colin should be on court right now but I cannot find live scoring.

Good effort by Josh but such a shame that he couldn't get the win in the end - it seemed that Spadea's experience told in the end.

Hopefully Boggo and Fleming can win their names today to make up for it - feel that Boggo probably has the better chance of winning.

Terrible day in Talla ... but Colin went SO close:

L32: Colin Fleming WR 521 lost to (6) Go Soeda (JPN) WR 135 by 6-3 2-6 7-6(4) cry
L32: Alex Bogdanovic WR 182 lost to Kyu-Tae Im (TPE) WR 230 by 4 & 4 bleh

So sadly it's Kim v K. Im in R2

What a terrible year so far for our guys in singles. Flembo and Boggo have been exceptions as have Andy, Evo and Coxy but other than that it really has been terrible.

Hope Flemski can have a good run here.

I have been speaking with Karen the tournament director and Colin played very well with several momentum swings throughout an excellent match with Colin unfortunately double faulting on match point !!!

She hopes he can continue well in the doubles.

thats a real shame for Colin, looks like good efforts by both him and Josh but just falling short, however its just not working out for Boggo at the moment, i get the impression he is lacking some belief at the moment, i hope he can turn it around.

Another bad day at the challengers for the Brits, and it seems that nothing is going right for them at the moment.

Fleming did well to get close to Soeda, but to double fault on match point in disappointing, but he'lll learn from it.

Poor loss though for Boggo - he needs to find a win from somewhere at the moment.

Dire. So much for things improving. You can hear the comments already that will be made at Wimbledon time about the usual state. Thank god the women seem to be making some real progress.

Clos call for Col and at least the Col/Ken combo came up trumps. clap.gif Fingers crossed that Josh & Prakash can carry on the good work in doubles by taking out Booty and Lipsky (1). One can but hope. hmm
