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.

 I'd say the final is his minimum expectation, given the draw left. What an opportunuty

***

QF:  (1) Dekel Bar (ISR) & Richard Gabb CR 960 vs (WC) Moti Maaravi & Daniel Tamir (ISR/ISR) UNR

Richard avoids a double dose of Mylokostov, who was seeded fourth with his partner, Dimitri Bretting, & should have been on the other side of the net in the semi:

SF:  (1) Dekel Bar (ISR) & Richard Gabb CR 960 vs (WC) Stanislav Korshunov & Andrei Novikov (RUS/BLR) UNR

Should be another doubles final for him, but...

24 singles games in a row for Richard the Ruthless then (I'd have been very surprised if he hadn't won this one 0 & 0, admittedly!)

L16: (4) Richard Gabb WR 535 beat (WC) Can Öztüzün (TUR) UNR by 0 & 0

QF: (4) Richard Gabb WR 535 v (8/Q) Denys Mylokostov (UKR) WR 851 (CH 739 in Jun)

Richard Gabb is a very nice guy hard working tennis player deserves more recognition than he has received so far.

 Well, we're all rooting for him big-time. Because, amongst other things, he's key in Bob-in-Croatia/Spain/Brazil/delete as appropriate's plan for the Big Push towards the 20 in 500 !

SF: (4) Richard Gabb WR 535 v Dimitri Bretting (SUI) WR 1787 (CH 1611 in 2012)

Bretting was the player who beat the only seed left in the bottom quarter after the 2nd seed withdrew to leave 7th seed v Bretting -- WR 1061 v Q -- Q v LL -- LL v Q as the R1 matches in the bottom quarter of the draw.

edit: yes to the question below wink
