Yeah I noticed that too. That's weird, wonder what they'll do, either move JB to the main draw and make his opponent have a w/o. Or create a lucky loser place meaning 5 qualifiers.

And what about the top seed, Young-Jun Kim. Is he in the main draw too?

Not worked out at all well for Baker. Not only has he missed out on a probable 5 points for getting through qualifying, he is faced with this draw:

R32: Jamie Baker WR 365 v (2) Go Soeda (JPN) WR 117

H2H is 0-3 and they played most recently in Pingguo this year with Soeda coming through 6-3, 7-6(6). The one positive thing is that all 3 meetings have been relatively close...

On the plus side, if he gets through that then he's got WC or Q

Jamie's also playing doubles - & whaddya know?  The Ratis appear to be going their separate ways:

R1:  Jamie Baker & Vasek Pospisil (CAN) vs Weerapat Doakmaiklee & Sanchai Ratiwatana* (THA/THA)

(*)  Sanchai's brother, Sonchat, is the third seed in partnership with John Paul Fruttero.

Just might add to his annoyance if he loses to Soeda   hmm.gif  

Plus he could have got some qualifying matches to bed himself in, won the qualifier points, been the qualifier who drew the WC, won the points for winning R1, and THEN played Soeda.

But naa...

Bakes *3-5, 30-40 down and play stopped for the day, Just to put things into perspective the qualifier in Jamie's section of the qualifying draw got the WC so could potentially face Soeda or Baker next round, Sod's law really. However must be noted there was no guarantee of Jamie qualifying had he been in there.

Great win for JB & Vasek:

QF:  (1) Mao-Xin Gong & Zhe Li (CHN/CHN) lost to Jamie Baker & Vasek Pospisil (CAN) by 6-1 1-6 [7-10] biggrin

Weird scoreline, though!  Still 35 points in the bag!  wink

SF:  Jamie Baker & Vasek Pospisil (CAN)  vs (3) John Paul Fruttero & Sonchat Ratiwatana (USA/THA)

They'll play the unseeded Korean/Thai partnership of Kyu Tae Im & Danai Udomchoke in the final if they see off the third seeds... pray.gif
