Week 20 - Futures F11 ($15K) - Parma, Italy

Aeneas · Lower Club Player

Great result for Morgan, things certainly seem to be looking up for him at the moment.

helki · Futures qualifying

What a super win. Excellent, Morgan.

Same again when you tackle the 2nd seed, on court 3, at 11.00 BST, tomorrow.

Smidster · Challenger level

Nice win...one of his best for a while.

Keep it up.

great stuff morgan, another good week.

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Great win for Morgan again, and he's definately playing like a top 500 player this season. He just needs to have a couple of good weeks where he gets lots of points under his belt to enable him to rise up the rankings.

Hopefully he won't be too far away from not needing to qualify for any more futures which should give him a chance to get more points.

excellent work again from morgan

Fab result here - again! biggrin

(even better, in fact)

QF: (Q) Morgan Phillips WR 1260 beat (2) Juan-Martin Aranguren (ARG) WR 317 by 4 & 2 biggrin

SF: (Q) Morgan Phillips WR 1260 v (5) Walter Trusendi (ITA) WR 365

Trusendi has a 2-1 record against Brits, beating Mark Rapa and Tom Rushby but losing to Guy Thomas, all in Italian Satellites in 2002/3, so that doesn't tell us much. His thrashing of no. 3 seed Luca Vanni today and the fact that he's only lost 5 games so far this week looks rather ominous though.

What a great result, well done Morgan!

helki · Futures qualifying

In footie parlance, "the boy dun good". wink

I'm so pleased for him, it looks as though he's getting back to the form he was in before his injury. Not impossible for him to reach the final, so.

Play isn't starting until the afternoon tomorow. Go for it Morgan.

jmjhb · Lower Club Player

Is there any chance he'd be given some sort of wild-card (qualifying or pre-qualifying) for Wimbledon? He seems to deserve it on his current form.

I'll second all those sentiments! smile Keep it up, Morgan. Best of luck tomorrow.

jm - There is certainly a chance of him getting in the mix for a quali WC...most likely through the 'playoff' system (Assuming it is running this year)

If he were to get one it would have to be better than last year!

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Even better win by Morgan than yesterday, and this is the week where everything has just clicked for him. This should be enough to get him back into the top 1000, and if he can repeat this form throughout the year, he'll have no trouble getting to the top 500 where he belongs.
