Great for Colin to produce some singles form out of nowhere, but tough draws in the singles and for him and Ross in the doubles.
Even if he gets past a surely tiring Stebe, the 2nd seed Lacko or the talented Goffin await in the second round.
Also a very tricky doubles draw, Gong and Li were cleaning up Chinese futures and Asian challengers last year, and won a round in Beijing beating WTF finalists Kubot & Marach.
Wow, now 3 very convincing wins over decently ranked players. What was I saying re Colin's singles prowess. I really do wish he had been more willing / able to stick with the singles circuit. Never too late
Colin now 2-1 up, the live score I'm following isn;'t showing who the server is, but thinking about it im prett ysure stebe would have served first, so colin a break up
