A stronger entry list than last week sees Fitzy seeded 6 places lower and he gets a very tricky draw too:
L32: (7) Andrew Fitzpatrick WR 480 v Junn Mitsuhashi (JPN) WR 648
Mitsuhashi, who was born in London funnily enough (and lists his hobbies as eating and sleeping), has been in the top 300 (CH 295 in 2009) and was out of action for the first 6 months of this year, which has left him under-ranked. Having said that, he hasn't had great results since coming back in July ... until this week, when he has reached the Final, as yet unplayed. The last Brit he played was James Marsalek in India last November, whom he beat in a 3rd set tiebreak.
Should be a good match, but should really be a QF or a SF in a field like this.
