Fitzy is on quite a roll at the moment - up 101 places today and he's beaten a top 1000 player too smile

FQR: (q12) Andrew Fitzpatrick WR 1253 beat (q1) Mark Vervoort (NED) WR 904 by 3 & 3 biggrin

L32: Morgan Phillips WR 506 v (Q) Ivan Arenas-Gualda (ESP) UNR
L32: (Q) Andrew Fitzpatrick WR 1152 v (Q) Igor Bujdo (POL) WR 834

That said, Fitzy's 19-y-o opponent rose 263 places today after reaching the semis in Mostoles, beating Marti (yes, the same Marti who lost the Final to Morgan yesterday) in the QFs before going out to Gadomski (who eventually lost ot Mrogan in the semis) in R2 last week in a match of three tiebreaks. He's also the guy who beat Andrew Gregory 7-5 in the 3rd in Olsztyn last month.

Morgan beat his opponent 2 & 4 in R1 last week, so he'll be hoping for a similar result and a similar week!

The Magician Santoro · Top national player

Also what could be interesting re davis cup, Morgan could play Tunisian 6th seed Jaziri if they both win their match!

The defeats in Porto yesterday that we have just found out about mean that Morgan is the only Brit to pick up an ATP singles point this week. ashamed

(i.e. embarrassed for the rest, not for Morgan!)

seagull · Hall of fame

To be fair with Rice/Smethers withdrawing and most others on way to Delhi or resting after 3 GB Futures we didn't have that many chances of points!

Indeed

It's just a very quiet week with a few tough draws for these that played. As far as I can see of the completed matches for the top 25 anyway only Wardinator has lost to a lower ranked player.

Extremely low on the embarassing scale in the grand history of British tennis, in fact don't think it even gets on smile
