Looks like Gilbertson is a talented 15 year old, hasn't done much in the way of mens tennis though with just the one futures qualifying.

Are you trying to prepare us for a potential Eaton mess? wink

 


Lol,

Im hoping not, Im hoping hes eager to make the main draw of this big challenger where money and points are pretty decent.

Yet, yes i can see him struggling in this one. Fingers crossed, he doesnt make a pigs ear of it.

Surely he cant though, his power should be enough for this youngster lol.

Qualifiers get Zemlja (7), Kirillov, Menendez, Groth.

Kirillov is out of form at the moment.

Menendez lost to Smethy couple of weeks ago.

Groth is just a serve.

If either of them qualify, as long as they dont get Zemlja, they could make 2nd round.

... says our biggest Eaton fan wink

Re. your previous post, I think he should be able to see off the youngster too. It would be good if he did well here, he's been showing some encouraging signs of being bothered enough to apply himself away from the big crowds this year.

Both won as on OOP for tommorow, both play the other seed in their sections.

(3) 407 Eaton vs Angelinos (5) 431

(6) 594 Ingot vs Okun (2) 323

Murray/Marray also kick off tommorow.

There next matches will be the ones that matter.

Angelinos tends to play on clay quite a bit although has won on hard. Hopefully the courts are quick and Chris's game can dominate.

We all know about Okun, likes to beat Brits, I think his last win against a brit was Chris earlier this year in South Africa. Depends on how Dom plays, if hes firing he could thrash him, but if hes not, its going to be tricky.

Of the 24 Q1 and Q2 matches, there were no three setters, indeed no tiebreaks, two 7 - 5  sets being the only sets where the loser got more than four games in a set ( and there the guys then got only one and no games in the following set ) so there has been nothing really approaching a very close match.  Needless to say all the seeds are through to the FQR.

Quite encouragingly for Inglot, unless the opponent was much better than the average RSA draw filler, Okun ( in Q2 )  is one of the players who has had a 7 - 5 set, before winning his second set 6 - 0.

Have Eaton or Inglot played yet?

Chris has qualified (unless he's got in as a LL) because he's on the OoP for tomorow to play Menendez-Maceiras. Neither Inglot nor Okun are down to play tomorrow, so their result remains a mystery!

Good news - means he has covered his 5 points from last year. Menendez is on the way up so will be a tough one
