The bloody Balts continue to torment the Brits: Lejnieks & Sakinis may be unranked, but they did for David & Sean by 3 & 4! bleh

On the good side, potentially for David, the no 2 seed has been replaced by a LL.

If he can beat Jordan Cox in R1, there is now noone else ranked in the top 800 in his quarter.

Dr No's opponent and Sean are the highest-ranked unseeded players in the draw.

Jordan Cox is 18. He was the Junior Wimbledon runner-up in 2009. He has also won a Futures title in Korea in April earlier this year.

But Rice beat him 6-2 6-4 in March 2010. In fact he's 0-3 vs Brits! Evo & Bloomers have beaten him too.

Does that make him a Brit Bashee?

I think it'll need a few more losses that that before he becomes one of those. Still a long way from Ka Wing-Wong standard!

Jordan Cox has been Brit-bashed again

but a bad result for Sean

L32: Sean Thornley WR 670 lost to Ruben Gonzales (PHI) WR 945 by 7-5 2-6 6-2 bleh

L32: (5) David Rice WR 491 beat Jordan Cox (USA) WR 537 by 4 & 4

L16: (5) David Rice WR 491 v Roman Recarte (VEN) WR 858

Dr No's quarter has opened up for him completely because the no. 2 seed was replaced by a lucky loser.

Recarte is 0-2 v Brits, having lost to Tom Burn in a Venezuelan Satellite back in 2003 and 0 & 5 to an 18-year-old Jamie Baker in other Venezuelan Satellite two years later.

it's 4am steven. isn't it passed your bedtime? hehe.

Shhh · Challenger level

Josh Goodall, Dan Cox and then Josh Milton each made back to back futures finals recently. Maybe its because of that but I almost "expect" Ricey to do the same!

I'm running on US Open time for BOTB purposes. It's easier to work when it's this quiet anyway.

I see that all eight seeds have reached their appointed places in the QFs. Is that some kind of record?

Where are you seeing this SC? I can't believe these games have all been played yet.

Ah, I see. If it wasn't for Santos-Gonzales beating Sousa, the SF would have gone by seeding too. Let's hope this trend continues through to the final. smile
