Week 36 - Challenger (€42,500) - St Remy, France - Hard
Permalink  

Evo is a DA here

 

QR1: (q2) David Rice WR 430 v Stephane Costes (FRA) UNR

QR1: (q6) Sean Thornley WR 575 v Maxime Tchoutakian (FRA) UNR

 

Other seed in Rice's section is (q7) Baptiste Dupoy (FRA) WR 616. Other seed in Thornley's section is (q4) Adrien Bossel (SUI) WR 510

 

Big week for Rice. He is defending 28 points this week and only got two of them back in Wrexham so he face losing nearly a third of his points if he doesn't do well here.

R1: Daniel Evans WR 312 v Fabrice Martin (FRA) WR 263

Pretty good draw for Evo although he would be likely to play (4) Kenny De Schepper (FRA) WR 135 in the second round.

Looks like there was no play at all Sunday as all QR1 matches are listed for Monday (they were originally listed for Sunday). Presumably there was rain.

Sean: "Took a win first round bangers 3 and 1. Opponent was flashy and went for winners everywhere in the court. You'd never guess he was French!"

So it's not just the top GEMs who play like that then! wink

Thornley plays Antione Escoffier (FRA) WR 1307 in QR2. Rice came through his QR1 match and plays Romain Mathieu (FRA) UNR next.

Both of these matches look like being played this evening. Final Qualifying tomorrow + some first round matches (including Evo) + some first round doubles (including the one that interests us).

They are a full day behind because of rain on Sunday but are only using 3 courts which seems very strange.

Be interesting to see how much Rice & Thornley's progress in doubles now determines their destinations.

eg.  more challengers and like here try and get into singles main draws via qualifying ?   and that maybe having an adverse effect on their singles rankings, hopefully not.

It is an interesting debate in general as to when a player should make the decision to be a doubles specialist.

Perhaps the best chance for someone like Sean to have a really good career, getting to play in some of the big events, is through his doubles exploits.

I raised this topic a few weeks ago. Anyway they are back to futures for the next couple of weeks. Hopefully they can switch between the two levels for a while.
