Boys: French Open Juniors 2009

Last year a strong British presence saw Thomas Knights and Dan Smethurst qualify to join Marcus Willis, Dan Cox and Dan Evans in the main draw. This year Dave Thomson and Ahmed El Menshawy are our only hopes of representation in the main draw.

Dave has a fairly tough opener, but Ahmed has a reasonable draw, starting with a Japanese player who lost to Oliver Golding earlier in the week.

QR1

(2) Tristan-Samuel Weissborn (AUT) v Jordan Cox (USA)
David Thomson (GBR) v (15) Christian Lindell (SWE)

(7) Yasutaka Uchiyama (JPN) v Ahmed El Menshawy (GBR)
Emilio Gomez (ECU) v (12) Kaza Vinayak Sharma (IND)

(15) Christian Lindell (SWE) d. David Thomson (GBR) 6-3 6-4

(7) Yasutaka Uchiyama (JPN) d. Ahmed El Menshawy (GBR) 7-6(5) 6-1

So no representation in the main draw for the singles event at least.

I'd love to know what the French think they're playing at:  not only does the site consistently rechristen any male player called Jordan Jordanie (the French name for the country of Jordan!), but Ahmed's been renamed Messieursshawy in both the draw & today's OoP...! disbelief  Took me a few seconds to work out what the dozy b*ggers had done! laughing.gif

*  For the record, Obry was the sixth seed in the boys' singles, but lost in straight sets (5 & 2) to the unseeded Russian, Kuznetsov, this morning!

laughing.gif that's a classic! You'd think it must mean that they only have automatic translation on a few words, i.e. singles, men's, women's, etc, that appears on the draws and OoPs else the problem would be far more widespread on the site, yet they use country codes on those pages, not full country names, so why would Jordan be going to Jordanie ...

Another strong hold, E&E will have to serve it out.
