Week 33 Futures - Italy F22 ($15k+H) - Esta Padova (Clay)

Dan Smethurst's opponent is Moritz Baumann (GER) WR 1425. He beat the No.1 seed in qualifying, and the q12 seed for the loss of just one game, but I can't imagine he'd be a match for Dan.

Pity for Wardinator. He had very encouraging results amd made such good progress up the rankings in the first 5 months or so of the year. Just seems to have come a bit off the boil in the last couple of months.

To be fair though re this match, I see that Tenconi was ranked in the top 200 as recently as last September ( has a CH of WR 141 from 2005 ) and has hardly played since, coming back for about a month in March without much success before going missing again.
