Will try give it a good shot. Unfortunately missed out on the 2 qualifying spots against the Saudi wildcards, but then again avoided a couple of the seeds so can't complain.

Sadly ...

L32: (Q) Gregory Howe UNR lost to Ashwin Vijayragavan (IND) 1717 by 2 & 1

Not only was the Indian not one of the plum Saudi WC draws, he has also been ranked a few hundred places higher and has been playing college tennis, so may well be playing as if his ranking was in 3-figures at the moment.

Onto Doha qualifying next week for another chance, I assume?

Doha is 50-50 as I'm meant to be back to the reality of work next week, although the event is at the ATP complex which is good. Otherwise it's a series of money tournaments in the UAE and get some much needed form for the summer.

R1:  Joshua Jones & Matt Short UNR defeated (2) Mark-Alexander Kepler & Alexander Lazov (GER/BUL) WR 1969 by 3-6 6-1 [15-13] biggrin

*****

QF:  (WC) Zaki al Abdullah & Abdulmalek Burasais (KSA/KSA) UNR vs Joshua Jones & Matt Short UNR

The only pair left in the competition with a world ranking are the third seeds, Filenkov & Roy, who would be Joshua's & Matt's opponents in the semi, should both make it that far!

No chance of the third seeds on the other side of the net in the SF, as they were beaten by 4 & 2 by the boys' actual opponents:

SF:  Enrique López & Jules Marie (ESP/FRA) UNR vs Joshua Jones & Matt Short UNR

Let's see you reach the final, lads!
