QR1: Saad Abbas UNR lost to Christian Prendiville (AUS) UNR by 6-0 7-6(5) QR1: Dominic Ross-Hurst UNR beat Khai Hong Tham (KOR) UNR by 1 & 0
QR2: (3) Andrew Fitzpatrick WR 1234 v Christian Prendiville (AUS) UNR QR2: Dominic Ross-Hurst UNR v Zaki al Abdullh (KSA) UNR
In his first senior match just over a year ago, al Abdullh was double-bagelled by the Skupster. He has been fed bakery products in 11 of the 23 sets he has played, though he thrashed a Malaysian 15-year-old playing his first senior match (having never played a junior ITF) 1 & 1 in QR1.
Prendiville has yet to beat a ranked player - hopefully he won't start today!

QR2: (3) Andrew Fitzpatrick WR 1234 beat Christian Prendiville (AUS) UNR by 3 & 0 QR2: Dominic Ross-Hurst UNR beat Zaki al Abdullh (KSA) UNR by 3 & 0
FQR: (3) Andrew Fitzpatrick WR 1234 v Matthew Asciak (MLT) UNR FQR: Dominic Ross-Hurst UNR v Jonathan Wong (USA) UNR
Asciak has qualified for main draws before, so won't be as easy as his unranked status suggests. Wong's only previous win before this week was a 6-0 ret. against (coincidentally given where Fitzy's opponent comes from) a Maltese player.
L32: David Rice WR 873 v (1) Matthew Ebden (AUS) WR 323 L32: Jamie Baker WR 840 v Qualifier

Unfortunately my concern about Asciak proved to be correct but Dominic has qualified for a Future for the first time since Nottingham last September.
