QR1: Josh Milton WR 539 v (q6) Sebastian Rieschick (GER) WR 423

Wardy, Evo, Baker and Josh were all on the alts list here (1, 3, 6 & 10 respectively) and the top seed in qualifying was the 13th alt for the MD, so I guess it's just about possible that they all scraped in

Close, but not quite:

QR1: Josh Milton WR 539 lost to (q6) Sebastian Rieschick (GER) WR 423 by 4-6 7-5 6-3 cry.gif

The other four Brits all ended up as DAs though, Josh being the last in, and could hardly have asked for better draws, at least as far as R1 is concerned! smile.gif

L32: Josh Goodall WR 314 v Qualifier
L32: Jamie Baker WR 285 v Tim Smyczek (USA) WR 203
L32: Dan Evans WR 365 v (WC) Alexander Domijan (USA) WR 656
L32: James Ward WR 267 v Qualifier

Bloody Rieschick also helped do for Josh & James in the doubles qualifying event:

R1:  Vladimir Obradovic & Sebastian Rieschick (SRB/GER) defeated (q2) Josh Goodall & James Ward by 5 & 4 bleh

Hes was once junior world No 1. A case of the junior who never took off.

Qualifiers added and rankings updated:

L32: Josh Goodall WR 312 v (Q) Philip Bester (CAN) WR 521
L32: Jamie Baker WR 282 v Tim Smyczek (USA) WR 203
L32: Dan Evans WR 363 v (WC) Alexander Domijan (USA) WR 656
L32: James Ward WR 257 v (Q) Bryan Koniecko (USA) WR 1117

The winner of Josh's match will play Kamke in R2 ater the German knocked out no. 8 seed Yani yesterday, the winner of Jamie's match will play (6) Dabul or Kuznetsov, the winner of Evo's match will play (8) Kendrick or Wolmarans and the winner of Wardy's match will play (2) Anderson or Matosevic. So, it's going to be tough to get to the QFs, but it would be very disappointing not to get at least 3/4 through to R2.

My rankings don't make these matches look so easy..

L32: Josh Goodall AK 411 v (Q) Philip Bester (CAN) AK 435              (53%)
L32: Jamie Baker AK 274 v Tim Smyczek (USA) AK 194                     (39%)
L32: Dan Evans AK 448 v (WC) Alexander Domijan (USA) AK 410    (46%)
L32: James Ward AK 333 v (Q) Bryan Koniecko (USA) AK 671          (80%)

That's only 2 Brits likely to progress.

Sorry to be the harbinger of doom, but a pessimist is less easily disappointed!

That's sobering stuff, especially when your rankings are usually more accurate. However, these are the kind of Challenger draws that they've just got to take advantage of if they want a chance of ever making a decent impact at this level.

What sort of criteria do you take into account in your adjusted rankings, Alkhenaten  ?

I kind of remember at least that the rankings of who you beat and lost came into it.

I do also remember it wonderfully adjusting James Flake's ranking to closer to my true perception when he was officially ranked around the top ten.

It looks like Bet365 are providing live-scoring for Baton Rouge Stadium Court, so Dan's game should be covered.

The venue is also providing Twitter updates after matches are played.

Yes, it's all about who you won and lost to.  It's based on the ELO system.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system
