Lammer d Goodall 7'6(1), 6'4.
Very close match only 1 break of serve apiece in the 2nd set. Shame for Josh.

Goodall 0-4 in Challengers this year.

The little beauty! It seems as though he never knows when he's beaten! I can't help feeling, though, that he deserves better than only 15 measly points for a win like that! Career best, I presume?

The Calleri win in DC was his career best, but I have a feeling that might be his biggest scalp otherwise.

I completely agree with peoples' comments on the points - it's no wonder Josh (Goodall) still plays Futures so much (it's not his fault the ranking system is now so skewed)

Re. wales1994 comment - it was Boggo who beat Lee at Queen's, but he then played Jamie in the next round.

Jamie has now won 7 matches in a row and will almost certainly take out his 2007 career high at last - I make him about WR 206 at the moment.

L16: Jamie Baker WR 215 beat (1) Igor Kunitsyn (RUS) WR 89 (CH 35 in 2009) by 7-6(3) 6-3 biggrin

QF: Jamie Baker WR 215 v Peter Polansky (CAN) WR 203 (CH 164 in 2009)

H2H 0-2 - 3 sets in 2010, 2 t/bs in 2011, both in N America.

the match before jamies ended prematurely by retirement so we should see Jamie on court very soon. Match is being streamed http://www.lshunter.tv/tennis-live-streaming-video.html there are a couple of links there

baker went an early break down, now at 4-1 but the last 2 games on kunitsyns serve have been very long with multiple deuces. Baker has had 5 bps so far

4-1*

baker holds comfortably and then breaks back!

4-3*

better!

Jamie pulls it back to *3-4.

Two players with two very similar baseline styles. You would think Jamie would end up being slightly over-matched being the lower ranked player but more than holding his own at the moment, maybe slightly edging it on play.

and holds to love

4-4
