After last week, a bit of a mare for Sean but a very good opening win for Fitzy.
QR1: (4) THORNLEY, Sean lost to KARALIOLIOS, Evthimios (NED) 4-6 0-6 QR1: FITZPATRICK, Andrew def. (15) MANUJA, Ronak (IND) 6-3 6-1 QR1: (13) ARLIDGE, Burnham lost to SANCHEZ, Manuel (MEX) 4-6 2-6
QR2: FITZPATRICK, Andrew WR 1508 v SACHDEVA, Ankit (IND) UNR
L16: RICE/THORNLEY v PRASHANTH/VIRALI-MURUGESAN (IND)
They (WR 1735) had a comfortable win, by 0 & 4, & face the third seeds, Siarhei Betau & Dzmitry Zhyrmont (BLR/BLR) WR 1154, in the QF. Here's hoping Zhyrmont doesn't manage to avenge his defeat by David in the singles!
[Rice & Thornley] (WR 1735) had a comfortable win, by 0 & 4, [over Prasanth & Virali-Murugesan] & face the third seeds, Siarhei Betau & Dzmitry Zhyrmont (BLR/BLR) WR 1154, in the QF. Here's hoping Zhyrmont doesn't manage to avenge his defeat by David in the singles!
Unfortunately, Zhyrmont did get his revenge, by 4 & 1!
I hope to God David stops making a habit of losing the first set by 1-6 in the singles from here on in. I doubt he can afford to give the fourth seed such a head start!
