Fresh from their success in Recanati last week, Delgo & Lovro Zovko step up to the Tretorn Challenger Series level in Cordenons, where they are the third seeds:

R1: (3) Jamie Delgado & Lovro Zovko (CRO) vs Dusan Lojda & Benoît Paire (CZE/FRA)

The Cordenons site is not exactly a model of clarity for a Challenger which appears to aspire to a modicum of status (there being no live scores! furious

), but I think the boys won by 1 & 2. smile

Yikes! Jamie & Lovro will face the unseeded, but experienced, established & dangerous, combination of Martin Emmrich & Andreas Siljeström (GER/SWE) in the quarter-final today.

Winning streak extended:

Delgado (GBR) / Zovko (CRO) - Emmrich (GER) / Siljestrom (SWE) 76 62

^^^^^

Seems I was worrying unnecessarily! biggrin

Good news to get home to after a nightmare journey! smile

No seeds left in the bottom half of the draw - Battistone & Mankad (2) & Moser & Rosol (4) both beaten in the first round! disbelief

Wonder if Cerretani & Shamasdin (1/USA-CAN) will survive to take on Jamie & Lovro in the SF.

They did - but by a walkover against Köllerer & Zverev! disbelief

Does Koellerer's disqualification in the singles mean he can't play the doubles as well? Or has he just gone off in a huff?

Köllerer was disqualified after recieving coaching in the toilets after the second set. Although he protests his coach just happened to be in the same toilet.

That really is taking the piss.

The rain that stopped play in Umag today obviously extended across to NW Italy (I suppose it is, very roughly, the same part of the world): matches which should have been played today will now be contested tomorrow! hmm

You either need a lesson in Geography or have a very strange defination of roughly.

Cordenons is in NE Italy and Umag is in the far west of Croatia. They are only about 50 miles apart.

And you have a very strange way of spelling "definition"!
