Week 41 - Challenger (€64,000+H) - Rennes, France (Hard)

Shhh · Challenger level

I would hope for at least one British success in the opening matches from Ward/Evans quarter

Ballavong · Lower Club Player

Josh is 7-5 2-2

Miriambee · Futures level

josh lost the 2nd set in the tiebreak 7-6 (1) but is 4-2 up in the third wiht a break of serve as I write.

Josh won 7-5 6-7(1) 6-4 - Feeney was top 250 in 2007, so it's not as surprising as it may look at first sight that he pushed Josh quite close.

(q7) Middelkoop was seeded to meet the winner in QR2, but he went out to Setkic in 3 sets, so:

QR2: Josh Goodall WR 340 v Aldin Setkic (BIH) WR 499

A loss to Lee Childs in what looks like his (Setkic's) first match on the pro tour back in 2004 and a 2-tiebreak win against big bad Dom in a Bosnian Futures event early last year are the only times Setkic has played Brits in singles before.

My lack of optimism with regards to Evo's chances seem well founded.

What a bizarre match. Evo now has a double break in the second

I'm beginning to wonder if there's a n elaborate game of 'chicken' going on among the young Brits at the moment to see who can recover from the most abject 1st set crushing! LOL
