Week 1- Challenger- Sao Paulo, Brazil ($125K+H)

Slabba won 6-3, 6-2.

Promising result but still needs to step it up against the top 400 guys now.

Plays 5th seed Caio Zampieri (who's ranked 296) in rd2.

Marray's match was last on and probably didn't start apparently due to rain

Jonny's showing up on livescore but hasn't moved for 30 minuets wonder if it's still raining

*edit it's finally moving Jonny serving first 30-0 up biggrin

*edit well it now shows it's been running for 8+ minuets but the score is 0-0 0-0 furious

Err, it has since slowly moved from 30 - 0 to 30 - 15 to 30 - 30 to 0 - 0

I don't quite follow that one unless they are just scoreboard testing smile

I would guess bad weather again, this match meant to be on at 10 am which is 12 noon GMT.

Alcaide still got to play his Q1 while got an o/s futures singles final and futures doubles final partnering Slabba. He only appeared to have 4 spots on OOPs for today, so probably up to 5 tomorrow the way things going biggrin

Best of luck for the tournament for the rest of the week :

Slabba had his chances against Zampieri - lost 6-3, 6-7, 6-4

hopefully can pick up some points in the coming GB futures, not sure if he's playing next week but he's in the one the week after

I'm liking this even more. Second seeds for them, should be possible and the Rattis have bitten the dust. wink

Me too! biggrin Hoped for, but wasn't expecting, such an easy win over the Chileans! The title would seem to be theirs for the taking, should they overcome the second seeds ...
