L16: Josh Milton WR 364 lost to (8) Fabrice Martin (FRA) WR 287 (CH 285 2 weeks ago) by 4 & 3
L16: Jamie Baker WR 298 beat (Q) Michail Elgin (RUS) WR 376 (CH 123 in 2009) by 1 & 1
L16: (Q) Alex Ward WR 495 lost to (3) Alexander Kudryavtsev (RUS) WR 153 (CH 132 in March) by 3-6 7-5 6-2
L16: Dan Cox WR 317 lost to (2) Teymuraz Gabashvili (RUS) WR 129 (CH 59 in 2009) by 5 & 1

QF: Jamie Baker WR 298 v (7) Radu Albot (MDA) WR 270 (CH 267 last week) or Ilya Belyaev (RUS) WR 329 (CH 272 in Feb)

So Jamie could be doing a Tony Hawks (I'll leave you to work that one out!) ... edit: Albot is 6-1 4-1 up at the moment, so he probably will be.

Wrong book wink (as I'm sure you know if you know about the Irish one!)

Back to the topic, I hope Jamie can go deep this week, defo signs of improvement from him lately

JB a set and break up - but the match has had plenty of breaks

streaming on bet365

MiloTheCat · Lower Club Player

can't see much but the audio is amusing...

missed the start of the argument - think JB was asking for a further penalty on his opponent for a time violation with his opponent serving 2-4 and 15-30

JB to referee: "you're wasting my time I'll speak to you later"

MiloTheCat · Lower Club Player

a break each to 15

Albot serving 3-5 0-30

MiloTheCat · Lower Club Player

another break to 15 seals the match!

In the bag 7-5, 6-3. Good win. Only saw a couple of games of this and yesterdays but it looks to me like he consistently hits his backhand cross court too short.
