QR1: (q14) Jack Carpenter WR 1343 v (wc) Victor Gimeno Traver (ESP) UNR

QR1: Tom Allen UNR v (q4) Roberto Ortega-Olmedo (ESP) WR 1015

Morgan Phillips is a DA here and this tournament should also see the debut for GBR of ex-AUS Andrew Gregory, who was 1st Alt so should have scraped in too.

Boluda-Purkiss no doubt licking his lips at the thought of completing a 2-week triple Brit-bash ...

Amazingly enough, the player who beat the top seed went out in straight sets to an Australian ranked 1397 called Maverick Banes (the kind of name SC adores ... wink) - I wonder if he's a distant Aussie cousin of our own Miaow Bains wink - and Gimeno Traver, who beat Carpenter, went out in straight sets to another unranked Spaniard!

With new (19 Jul) rankings and Morgan's opponent filled in:

L32: Andrew Gregory WR 821 v (WC) Carlos Boluda-Purkiss (ESP) WR 646
L32: (2) Morgan Phillips WR 441 v (Q) Stanislav Poplavskyy (UKR) WR 966

Boluda has risen 333 places in the last 3 weeks, which must explain why he needed a WC despite being higher-ranked than Andrew (who didn't need one) now.

Both due to be played today.

Meanwhile, the Aussie from Jack Carpenter's qualifying section Maverick Banes won his FQR and has drawn fellow qualifier Francesc Montañés Roca in R1. That's funny, I thought, wasn't Roca world no. 30 Albert Montañés' last name ... and yes, Francesc is his younger brother (by 10 years) - Albert has an older brother too, Jonathan, who seems to have played on Satellite qualifying match in 1993 when Francesc was 3. IF that's the same Jonathan (it's not 100% clear that he is), that's one very spread out family!

Great stuff from Morgan this week - he hasn't been taken past 6-4 in a set. smile.gif

He has now reached his 3rd semi of 2010 and he beat Fornell-Mestres 3-6 6-1 6-4 in the Valldoreix QFs 2 months ago to reach his last one! That was belated revenge for an 0 & 4 drubbing in Zaragoza 4 years earlier, so the H2H is 1-1.

Morgan hasn't reached a final since Espinho in Portugal in September last year and has two sets of runner-up points (from Ottershaw GBR and Irún ESP) to come off next month, so he could do with reaching another one!
