James here for 2 or 3 weeks I think, Maybe the time he gets a breakthrough points wise????

India has done for many players mind, hope the Deli Belly stays away.

James' surname has always fascinated me. Does anyone do that, "study of what names mean and where they come from thing" and could shed any light on the history of the Marsalek name?

Not that I have much idea about such things, but I think many Czech last names end in -ek? Someone tweet him, quick!


But more importantly, Marsalek rhymes with Dalek, so he could be from some other planet.

I would guess Czech too - Marsálek, with the s having what looks like a little v on top (turning it into a sh), but if I try to type that in here and submit the post, the s disappears!

 Spot on Steven, in czech it is pronounced Mar-shaa-lek and is common enough.

It is a common english surname if translated - Marshall.

Once translated, most names lose their romance......

Yours,

Dave (your Czech correspondent)

Sounds good Where have you found that out ... or is it a top secret source?

Here's an article from the Indian press yesterday - apparently Paul Hutchins is out there with James.

QF: (8) James Marsalek WR 797 beat (3) Rohan Gajjar (IND) WR 592 by 6-4 6-7(2) 7-6(7) biggrin

"Rohan lost match which he should won ... After losing the first set he came back strongly ... In the second and third he had many break point chances but he failed to convert ... In the second set tie-break he controlled it from early to won it but in the third set tie-break James kept cool and converted important point to produce upset over Rohan."

from http://jaydeep72.blogspot.com/

SF: (8) James Marsalek WR 797 v (1) Junn Mitsuhashi (JPN) WR 385 (CH 295 in 2009)

The above source shows "(1) Junn MITSUHASHI (JPN) l (7) Karunuday SINGH (IND) ?6 46" as the score for the other relevant QF but the report makes it clear that Mistsuhashi won.

... and James has just added:"3 hours 45 minutes playing a match in the indian heat and didn't cramp. Karl Cook would be proud #hydration"
