Week 17 - ATP 250 series - BRD Nastase Tiriac Trophy, Bucharest - doubles (red clay)


Decent new partner for Ken this week &, on the face of it, a winnable first-round match:

R1:  Xavier Malisse (BEL) & Ken Skupski WR 104 vs (WC) Victor Hanescu & Gilles Müller (ROU/LUX) WR 477

And good to see Dom continung to compete at this level.  Trouble is, it's a cr@p draw:

R1:  Dominic Inglot & Lukas Rosol (CZE) WR 184 vs (2) Julian Knowle & Filip Polasek (AUT/SVK) WR 57

See that the ATP is at least trying to deny Mr Hanescu the home court advantage ... the draw page places the tournament in Bucharest, Spain. (The old cut and paste gone awry?)

Not looking too promising:  they went a break down early in the second set, then recovered it, only to be broken again in the very next game!  2-3*  cry
