The third and final week down in India for the lads. No one turned up in this weeks qualifying draw, but we have plenty of interest in the main draw.
Kyle Brassington vs Q Seong-Yoon Chung
Tim Bradshaw vs Kento Takeuchi (6)
(3)Chris Eaton vs Max Jones
and in the doubles...
Kyle Brassington/Peter Lucassen vs Abhijeet Tiwari/Akash Wagh
Tim Bradshaw/Max Jones vs (2) Chris Eaton/Rohan Gajjar
Would look to see Chris make another semi at least, there he would probs face Vishnu Vardhan the top seed which is better than the second seed Kim. Kyle has a nice first round but then would face the top seed. Bradshaw should be able to give a fight against the sixth seed hopefully.
The doubles 1st round matches were played today and only one brit made it through that. All singles matches that include the lads are on tommorow.
1st Round Doubles:
Kyle Brassington/Peter Lucassen lost to WC Abhijeet Tiwari/Akash Wagh 7-6(3) 7-6(7) Tim Bradshaw/Max Jones lost to (2) Chris Eaton/Rohan Gajjar 2-6 6-4 10-4
Quarterfinal Doubles:
(2) Chris Eaton/Rohan Gajjar vs WC Abhijeet Tiwari/Akash Wagh (played Wednesday)
Max Jones did indeed beat Chris Eaton! It looks like there's ilness going around because there were 5 rets, unfortunately including Tim (a set down) and Kyle (at 1 set all) - Kyle's retirement is a real pity because the no. 1 seed pulled out too and he would have had a relatively clear path through to the QFs.

And this is the Eaton who is being called for in some quarters to be in our Davis Cup team, and he has just lost to a fellow Brit ranked outside the top 1000. The worst thing is you could see it coming.
Brassington lost 3-6, 6-4 ret and Bradshaw lost 6-4, 1-0 ret.
