R32: (Q) Daniel McGrath UNR lost to Laurent-Olivier Daxhelet (BEL) WR 1225 by 4-6 6-1 6-1

Daniel will be ranked next Monday anyway, thanks to the R1 win two weeks ago, but I doubt he'll get much better chances to pick up additional ranking points ...

The lads exploits in singles didn't help them in Doubles as Hudson/Jones lost 6-4 7-6

Doh! I meant to post those a couple of hours ago, too much happening today. Excellent results, aren't they. Good tournament pick too if the seeds go down to the 900s!

The two Brits take full advantage of their excellent R1 results to gain another ATP point each

L16: Joshua Jones WR 1448 beat (Q) Saar Steele (ISR) UNR by 6-4 7-6(0)

L16: (Q) Oliver Hudson WR 1686 beat Laurent-Olivier Daxhelet (BEL) WR 1225 by 6-1 5-1 ret.

QF: Joshua Jones WR 1448 v (1) Amir Weintraub (ISR) WR 244
QF: (Q) Oliver Hudson WR 1686 v (2) Federico Gaio (ITA) WR 454

That'll be the Weintraub with the 24-set winning streak, including 17 bakery products, Gaio won two Futures titles in Kazakhstan last month.

Fantastic.

Shame they have to come up against 2 players in red hot form - Gaio also won back to back events in May.

SMC1809 · All-time great

QF: Amir WEINTRAUB (ISR) (1) defeated Joshua JONES (GBR) 6-0 6-3 cry

QF: Federico GAIO (ITA) (2) defeated Oliver HUDSON (GBR) 6-4 6-4 cry

3 games is more than any of Weintraub's last 7 opponents have managed to take off him! (Dave Rice in the first of the finals he lost to Weintraub 2 weeks ago was the last to take more than that)
