Week 30 - Ireland F1 ($15,000) - Dublin (Carpet)
Permalink  

When the draw came out, it looked like part 1 of the plan (if it was a plan!) to go over to Dublin and hope to get drawn against similarly- or lower-ranked opponents had worked quite well. Unfortunately, part 2 of the plan (taking advantage of decent draws by actually winning the matches) hasn't gone so well today.

A quick recap of results so far: (thanks to RJA above & Tennis Ireland for updates!)

L32: Oliver Hudson WR 1106 lost to (Q) David Pel (NED) UNR by 4 & 4 bleh
L32: Neil Pauffley WR 819 beat (Q) Stephen Martin (IRL) UNR by tbc (Neil was up 4-0 in the 1st at one point) 
L32: Keelan Oakley WR 1527 lost to (Q) Ben McLachlan (NZL) WR 1787 by 4-6 6-2 7-6 bleh
L32: (5) Daniel Evans WR 392 beat (WC) Ciaran Fitzgerald WR 1533 by 2 & 4 smile (plays McLachlan next)
L32: Lewis Burton WR 694 lost to Marcus Daniell (NZL) WR 761 by 2 & 3 bleh
L32: Matthew Short WR 773 lost to Sam Barry (IRL) WR 707 by 5 & 1 cry
L32: (Q) Adam Thornton-Brown WR 1533 lost to (WC) John Morrissey (IRL) UNR by 3 & 3 bleh

Keelan: "Went down 6 in the 3rd. Slightly gone. Umpire had a horrific tie break and they all went against me. Really not fun"

Just updated my earlier post with today's new rankings and the latest two results. As you can see from all the blehs (= losses to lower-ranked players), a bit of a disaster day.

The remaining Brits play R1 tomorrow - updating the rankings for their matches gives:

L32: (1) Josh Goodall WR 226 v Jaime Pulgar-Garcia (ESP) WR 838
L32: (6/WC) Daniel Cox WR 490 v (Q) Nicholas Andrews (USA) 1533
L32: (Q) Aaron Banasik UNR v Barry King (IRL) WR 982
L32: (Q) Harry Meehan WR 1888 v (8) Elie Rousset (FRA) WR 565

L16: Neil Pauffley WR 819 v Cox or Andrews
L16: (5) Daniel Evans WR 392 v (Q) Ben McLachlan (NZL) WR 1787

Short lost 5 and 1

Pauffley won, don't know the score but assume that it was straight sets.

Keelan has never seemed like the kind of player who says something like this unless there is a very strong basis for it so a real shame for him.

Interesting to know how these 'artificial grass'/carpet courts play, if there similar to the savanna courts at our club, the speed will depend on how long they've been there for and they'll probaby have quite a low bounce so slice is effective, not sure if they'll have sand on them or not as well which can slow it down

these results highlight the reason why I don't often agree with folk bemoaning Brit vs Brit draws in the 1st round of Challengers/Futures.

Bloody awful day. Only 2 wins out of 7 in the singles and a complete disaster in the doubles.

Evo and Burton weren't even due to play their doubles until tomorrow yet have "lost" by a walkover which raises concerns that one of them picked quite a bad injury.
