Boys: 53 Trofeo Bonfiglio, Italy - Grade A (Week 21)
Permalink  

Our top 4 come in for a very strong Grade A event, and could be joined by Evan Hoyt, who is through to final qualifying. Luke Bambridge has a tough opener against a Belgian who beat Kyle Edmund twise last year.

R1 (L64)

(1) Liam Broady (GBR) v Anton Desyatnik (RUS)

Luke Bambridge (GBR) v (15) Julien Cagnina (BEL)

(Q/LL) v Kyle Edmund (GBR)

(13) Joshua Ward-Hibbert (GBR) v Q/LL

Good win for Luke ( "Strong performance from Luke who returned serve outstandingly" according to Martin Weston, who is there with Greg Rusedski) and solid start from Liam, but Evan lost out in final qualifying (to Kyle's opponent). Matches were played indoors because of rain. Josh has a strong qualifier in former Les Petits As winner Quentin Halys

R1 (L64)

(1) Liam Broady (GBR) d. Anton Desyatnik (RUS) 6-3 6-3
Luke Bambridge (GBR) d. (15) Julien Cagnina (BEL) 6-2 6-4
(Q) Harry Bourchier (AUS) v Kyle Edmund (GBR)
(13) Joshua Ward-Hibbert (GBR) v (Q) Quentin Halys (FRA)

Kyle had to fight for his win from 3-0 down in the second, but Josh not unsurprisingly failed to progress. Kyle faces another top 1995 next, who he beat last time they played, though that was 2 years ago. Liam is the only seed left in the top quarter, but there are still one or two very useful unseeded players in the section.

Liam and Josh are seeded 2 as they go for a third Grade A title and have notched an opening win

R1 (L64)

(1) Liam Broady (GBR) d. Anton Desyatnik (RUS) 6-3 6-3
Luke Bambridge (GBR) d. (15) Julien Cagnina (BEL) 6-2 6-4
Kyle Edmund (GBR) d. (Q) Harry Bourchier (AUS) 6-4 7-6(3)
(Q) Quentin Halys (FRA) d. (13) Joshua Ward-Hibbert (GBR) 6-3 7-5

R2

(1) Liam Broady (GBR) v (Q) Tomas Papik (CZE)
Hyeon Chung (KOR) v Luke Bambridge (GBR)
(14) Frederico Ferreira Silva (POR) v Kyle Edmund (GBR)

Worse is Liam's score. Kyle had the toughest match on paper, but came closest, with 2 match points

R2

(Q) Tomas Papik (CZE) d. (1) Liam Broady (GBR) 6-2 6-1
Hyeon Chung (KOR) d. Luke Bambridge (GBR) 7-6(5) 6-1
(14) Frederico Ferreira Silva (POR) d. Kyle Edmund (GBR) 6-7(3) 7-6(6) 6-2

The real talent is clearly there as he has shown in the past and you can't suddenly lose that.

But for nearly a year now his results ( junior and senior ) have with few exceptions been generally disappointing.  I suspect there are confidence issues but other than that no real idea. Would be great to see him really picking things up again asap.

Interesting once Oli got a few results going more followed quite quickly. Maybe Liam is also just a match or two away from picking up similarly

Liam wants to do the Junior Grand Slam with Josh, so I expect their results to be good.

From what I can make out from twitter, it seems the pair have won! No mention of score though
