Ouch, then again not much surprise to see a 17 year old with only 5 wins in his entire ITF Junior career struggle when stepping up to the senior game.

According to ITF, Faraz is a 31 year old, who only started playing tennis at 17!

In 11 Futures matches, he has lost every single set, only once getting close in a 3-6 5-7 defeat (6-3 being his second closest set) to another player who has never been ranked.

He has played two Brits in futures matches, losing to Oliver Hudson and Chris Priddle (?) both 6-1 6-2.

A certain sense of déjà vu here, for Richard at any rate:

R1:  (1) Dekel Bar (ISR) & Richard Gabb CR 960 vs Florian Barth & William Boe-Wiegaard (GER/USA) CR 2336

the only difference being that he & Marcus Daniell played - & defeated - those two in the QF!

Make that 11 with a service game to complete the probable double bagel.

L32: (4) Richard Gabb WR 535 beat Ryoma Sloane (NZL) WR 1522 (CH 1473 in Jul) by 0 & 0

Nice reward too - he'll play the winner of a match between 2 unranked Turkish wild cards in R2!

L16: (4) Richard Gabb WR 535 v (WC) Can Öztüzün (TUR) UNR

Scott Clayton beat Öztüzün 1 & 0 last week, so Richard will no doubt be hoping he Can manage another double bagel.

Has Gabb made a singles final yet?

Must have a decent chance this week with Ilhan playing the challenger.

This is a really weak draw with most likely half the players in the bottom half (Richard's half) unranked. It would be a huge surprise given his current form not to make the SF at least and final looks like a realistic target.

Yes, he was the singles runner-up in Marathon in May.
