There is a strong British contingent here for a Grade 3 event followed by a Grade 2:
R1 (L64)
(8) James Marsalek (GBR) BYE (11) Christopher Simpson (GBR) BYE (10) Jack Carpenter (GBR) BYE Theodore Voegt (GBR) d. Karim Hosni-Fouad (EGY) 6-2 6-0 (14) Tom Allen (GBR) BYE
R2
Taro Daniel (JPN) v (8) James Marsalek (GBR) (11) Christopher Simpson (GBR) v Karim Beltagui (EGY) Ahmed Al Bitar (EGY) v (10) Jack Carpenter (GBR) Theodore Voegt (GBR) v (12) Ahmed Triki (TUN) (14) Tom Allen (GBR) v Karim Hossam (EGY)
(8) James Marsalek (GBR) d. Taro Daniel (JPN) 4-6 7-5 6-2 (11) Christopher Simpson (GBR) d. Karim Beltagui (EGY) 6-3 5-7 6-4 (10) Jack Carpenter (GBR) d. Ahmed Al Bitar (EGY) 6-2 6-0 (12) Ahmed Triki (TUN) d. Theodore Voegt (GBR) 6-3 6-4 (14) Tom Allen (GBR) d. Karim Hossam (EGY) 6-1 6-1
R3
(9) Sai Kartik Nakireddi (IND) v (8) James Marsalek (GBR) (11) Christopher Simpson (GBR) v (5) Pavel Liska (CZE) (7) Jiri Vesely (CZE) v (10) Jack Carpenter (GBR) (14) Tom Allen (GBR) v Vladimir Molkanov (RUS)
A lot of junior tournaments in Africa and Asia provide little in the way of info via internal websites, and the ITF only update every 2 or 3 days.
However I have been able to deduce the R3 results from some oops on an Egyptian website (I don't know if Jack's score is a retirement or a typo - probably the latter as Jack played doubles on the following day):
R3
(8) James Marsalek (GBR) d. (9) Sai Kartik Nakireddi (IND) 6-1 6-3 (11) Christopher Simpson (GBR) d. (5) Pavel Liska (CZE) 6-3 7-5 (7) Jiri Vesely (CZE) d. (10) Jack Carpenter (GBR) ?3-6 7-6(3) 3-3 (14) Tom Allen (GBR) d. Vladimir Molkanov (RUS) 6-4 6-4
QF
Moos Sporken (NED) v (8) James Marsalek (GBR) (16) Sami Ghorbel (TUN) v (11) Christopher Simpson (GBR) (6) Sumeet Shinde (IND) v (14) Tom Allen (GBR)
The good news is that we got 3 semi-finalists - the bad news is that the one non-Brit won
QF
(8) James Marsalek (GBR) d. Moos Sporken (NED) 5-7 6-3 6-2 (11) Christopher Simpson (GBR) d. (16) Sami Ghorbel (TUN) 7-6(5) 6-2 (14) Tom Allen (GBR) d. (6) Sumeet Shinde (IND) 6-3 6-2
SF
(8) James Marsalek (GBR) d. (11) Christopher Simpson (GBR) 6-1 6-3 (7) Jiri Vesely (CZE) d. (14) Tom Allen (GBR) 7-6(6) 6-1
Final
(7) Jiri Vesely (CZE) d. (8) James Marsalek (GBR) 6-2 7-5
Still great tournament from the guys. Time for Marselek to step up, too many average results for too long - now that less of the 1991 guys are playing his chances improve
There's a Grade 2 here next week, with Gabb and Hewitt playing the Euros i guess James will play in that
