Week 9 - Challenger- Cherbourg, France €42,500k+H (Hard)

Chris Eaton turns up in quals here, he was just a few places out of quals in Wolfsburg last week unfortuantely.

Got a decent draw tbh, I'd give him a chance of qualifying if the courts are pretty quick, hes started the year quite well so lets hope he can keep it up.

QR1: Chris Eaton 557 vs Arthur Francois Vibert 759 (Fra)

QR1: Chris Eaton 557 beat Arthur Francois Vibert 759 (Fra) 6-4 6-1

QR2: Chris Eaton 557 vs (4) Ludovic Walter 302 (Fra)

Very good start for Chris in France. Livescores only seemed to work for centre court today so wasnt able to follow it but hopefully he'll be put on it tomorrow

Coincidentally, i watched a bit of Walter in the Germany future on the live stream, as Chris would play the winner of him and Mertl in the final. He tended to serve/volley quite a bit, be aggressive so it will be a similar match up of styles but i'd definitely say Chris has the stronger serve out of them.

Interesting that Dimitrov is giving Bulgaria's DC tie with Belarus a miss to be the top seed in the main draw here.

Perhaps putting his own career above fronting a one-man DC team (Bulgarian number 2 is WR 550). Baghdatis isn't playing in the Cyprus tie either. Both of those could end up being significant for our hopes if we progress to the third round, let's be optimistic here....smile

In the QFs, Chris & Frank will have to wait to see whether they play Dimitrov & Kravchuk (BUL/RUS) or Cervenak & Ivo Minar (SVK/CZE) (the eastern Europeans seem to be out in force in Cherbourg! disbelief ), but:

QF:  Pierre-Hugues Herbert & Nicolas Renavand (FRA/FRA) vs (2) Jamie Delgado & Jonny Marray
