Week 11 - Challenger (€30,000 + H) - Rabat, Morocco - Clay
Permalink  

Strange to see an African clay court Challenger have by far the strongest of the three Challenger qualifying draws that have come out so far. So of course, this is where a Brit pops up! Good news though - not seeing him on the entry loists for Spain or Portugal this week, I was a bit worried that whatever forced Morgan to retire from his last match might have kept him out for a bit.

QR1: Morgan Phillips WR 460 v James McGee (IRL) WR 366

Good win for Morgan

Believe it or not, there were 30 break points in the course of the match (!) - Morgan took 6/17 and saved 9/13.

QR2: Morgan Phillips WR 460 v (q8) Andrea Arnaboldi (ITA) WR 284 (CH 206 in 2009)

They have met once before, in the Parma Fut. Final in 2009, Arnaboldi winning 7-6(7) 6-3.

Worse scoreline than 3 years ago, unfortunately, but still, the QR1 win was a good one - a pity it wasn't worth any ranking points.
