Week 40 - Futures F8 ($15K) - Port Pirie, Australia - Hard


L32: Andrew Gregory WR 949 v (WC) Alex Bolt (AUS) UNR
L32: Burnham Arlidge WR 1017 v (PR) Yuri Bezeruk (AUS) WR 1342

Both 'Aussie-Brits; have gone back down under for this and Andrew looks to have decent R1 draws. Bolt is a 17-y-o left-hander who has never been in the top 400 in juniors but did beat a top 100 junior a few months ago. He has only qualified for one Future in 10 attempts, getting double-bagelled by King-Turner in R1 of the main draw when he did so and took just 9 games off WR 1521 the other time he got a WC into a main draw.

Burnham's draw may be more dangerous than it looks because Bezeruk hit a xareer high of 600 back in 2006 but was unranked during much of 2008 and the whole of 2009. His experience against Brits is mixed to say the least - he thrashed Myles Blake 0 & 2 in 2004 and took 8 games off James Ward in Indonesia in 2007 but lost to Myles B;ake 2 & 3 this year, which hopefully means this is a good draw for Arlidge after all.
