The second of the Serbian Grade 2s saw Josh Sapwell cop a tough draw against the strong Russian who defeated Jonny O'Mara in last week's semi. The other 3 have all progressed easily to round 2 though
R1 (L32)
(7) Peter Ashley (GBR) d. Alexandru Buzelan (ROU) 6-0 6-2
Alexander Sendegeya (GBR) d. (WC) Marko Todorovic (SRB) 6-1 6-2
Jonny lost to one of last year's top TE14s tweeting enigmatically: "Lost a bad one today, struggled with myself and controversy.". Peter renews acquaintance with the German he lost to in the TE14 Masters 2 years ago
R2
(7) Peter Ashley (GBR) d. Alexandr Chepelev (RUS) 6-4 6-0 (4) Robin Stanek (CZE) d. Alexander Sendegeya (GBR) 6-4 6-1 Alexander Zverev (GER) d. (3) Jonny O'Mara (GBR) 7-6(4) 6-4
Peter avenged his defeat by the German to earn a crack at the strong 4th seed, who hammered Liam at the Australian Open and who has cruised into the semis here. There will be a Brit in the doubles final, as Josh and Alex are on opposite sides in one semi
QF
(7) Peter Ashley (GBR) d. Johannes Haerteis (GER) 6-1 2-6 7-5
