Not a bad draw for Jamie.

Harrison is a good young prospect and beat Bloomfield in a quite tight 3 sets match in a recent futures final plus has had a few decent challenger results, but it's a very winnable match.

Grega Zenlja ( 6 ) WR 145 or Tigre Hank ( WC ) WR 1136 would await in round 2 if he won.

Good luck to Bloomfield, though I don't necessarily always believe everything I hear about favourite surfaces. Muzza'a favourite surface has been shown for years in his ATP profile as clay

alex03maccy · Grand Slam Champion

well done bloomers

steven · Tennis legend

Very nice to see Bloomers qualify and get a decent draw - if he can win that R1 match too, I imagine it will be a nice confidence boost going into 2010.

mjd · Challenger qualifying

For the male is the best thing you can see in the near future, as Taylor Dent, a promise of American tennis will be present, it is noteworthy that in 2004 during the Athens Olympics, won the bronze medal, plus Ryan Harrison who also expected much of his career, will try to shine in Puebla. - {Polish him off Jamie)

Expected arrival of Chilean Nicolas Massu, who was the Olympic champion in Athens 2004 and is most prominent in the world of tennis in South America {And winner of last week's Challenger in Cancun}

Fruttero's the guy he partnered last week, with a certain amount of success, losing in the SFs to the eventual winners. Hope they have an even better run this week.

And they've cleared the first hurdle, though not without a bit of a battle: 6-3 4-6 [10-8]. wink

The Spanish pair, Guillermo Olaso & Pere Riba, or the Mexican WCs, Javier Herrera & César Ramírez, in the QF.
