RE: Week 40 - Kuwait F3 ($10,000) - Meshref (Hard)


Well, howdy to the 'marine-theme' club !

L32:

(6) Lewis Burton WR 692 def. Ali Ghareeb (KUW) WR 1524 (CH 1345 back in 2003 ! - but he's only 27 . . .) 6-0 6-3

A chance for Lewis Burton to pick up more than his customary 1pt this week.

Marcus hits 100 ranking points earned this year !

After last week, to his credit, his overall ranking score of 101 points now has the maximum 18 counters including 4 one pointers.

So for now his official ranking points total will only increase when he reaches a QF ( his only remaining points to defend from last year are 2 points due off in late November ).

Sounds like a good idea for a new Topic!

Marcus's win, from earlier in the thread, was actually 3-6 6-3 6-2, so he didn't really match Lewis B.

PS not wanting to fuel the flames but Marcus will be British no. 11 as things stand and if Marcus wins his next match, he will be no. 9 definitely and go to British no.8 if Dave Rice fails to bring off an upset against Guez (the no. 1 seed in France).

Lewis Burton currently racing through his match too - 6-0 1-0 - would be pretty unusual if BOTH Marcus and him won their matches without dropping a single game !

Good wins from the dynamic duo today but tougher challenges to follow.

 Marcus should win his QF, but i can see a straight sets defeat for Lewis

Given that Lewis beat Castro 3 & 0 last week then lost 1 & 1 to Wang, that does seem the most likely outcome, but you never know.

I keep thinking Lewis will get a change in form soon as he was playing so well earlier in the year and all this successful match practice in the doubles should improve his match confidence. Maybe tomorrow..
