Week 44 - Challenger ($125,000) - Astana, Kazakhstan - Hard
Permalink  

(1) Colin Fleming & Ross Hutchins (GBR/GBR) v Mikhail Kukushkin & Denis Matsukevich (KAZ/RUS)

With Kukushkin in the singles final in St. Petersburg and Hutchins in the doubles final in Montpellier, expect a Wednesday start here?

Good event to enter. A fairly weak draw and quite a lot of points up for grabs.

Hutch was supposed to be committed to playing out the year with Huss. Seems he was able to change that to begin his partnership with Fleming. So no go for Jamie Murray. Perhaps he will look to settle down in a permant partnership next year now he has settled down domestically. He has drifted terribly this year. Similarly Jordan Kerr has had more partners than Jordan the model. so I hope it works out for Skups!

Anyone else surprised it's not Rosco and Skupski? Surely the R/L combination and the Commonwealth silver suggested it...

Hutch is committed to playing the rest of the year with Huss but since they weren't playing this week he was able to team up with Colin.

Fleming and Hutchins played together for Britain in the Davis Cup last year and plan to play in a Challenger event next week in Azerbaijan or Germany

With Hutchins already committed to other partners for his last few events this year, Fleming will also briefly be reunited with fellow Scot and former doubles partner Jamie Murray in two more Challenger events in Bratislava and Helsinki

Mystery solved. Then Ross is going that extra thousand miles to team up for a brief week of match practice. I hope they don't lose in the first round. They are top seeds though.

It is hardly a big sacrifice. It is a weak field with decent points and prize money up for grabs.

Well done, Col & Ross.  A dream start for the new partnership! smile  A pair of unknown WCs in the QF:

QF:  Colin Fleming & Ross Hutchins vs (WC) Marko Danis & Serizhan Yessenbekov (SVK/KAZ)

Should be an easy passage into the semis... pray.gif
