The one thing you can usually rely on with Chris is him getting a decent draw, but his luck has definitely run out this week - last week's winner, top seed then Peya ... lovely. Not that he'll get to Peya, I wouldn't think, but if he does it would mean his serve was on fire this week, so he'd have a chance!
That's a pretty horrible draw from Dom too, even if he has beaten Ghedin before.

So far this seems to be a tournament for the underdog. Of the 8 results in so far, 6 have been won by the underdog (based on rankings only), and of the 5 seeds who have played, only 1 has made it through.
This includes Stoppini (247) losing to Raspudic a WC ranked 1738, and Juska (388) losing to a qualifier Dzumhur (1653).
Shame- Was always going to be a big ask for Chris. Hopefully he can have some success on dubs court still this week and do well in Sarajevo quals next week
Unfortunately, confirmed on the tournament site. Results of Dom's match & one other outstanding. Both sets of players concerned showing as possibles on tomorrow's OoP!

Let's hope Dominic can keep the run going.
Of the 16 first round matches, 11 were won by the (rankings) underdog.
