For the second week in a row, 17 year-old Chris wins his first found in qualies no trouble. And for the second week he then comes up against one of the top three seeds, this time the WR 381 !
QR1: Christopher Reynolds def. Mario Paccini Sancho (ESP) UNR age 16 6-4 6-2
QR1: Nikki Roenn lost to (q7) Carlos Garcia-Villanueva (ESP) WR 1410 7-5 6-1
QR2: Christopher Reynolds v (1) Marc Giner (ESP) WR 381 CH 245 six months ago
Didn't Matt make a habit of this a couple of months ago ? Have I got the right guy ? Pretty sure it was him that always seemed to lose the first set, no contest, and then somehow wake up and start playing and (hopefully!) manage to come home in the third . . .
L16: Matt Short WR 872 v (Q) Davide Melchiorre (ITA) WR 1264 (CH 1246 in Sep)
Melchiorre upset the 2nd seed today, a result that seems to have come from nowhere. Hopefully it means it was just a very bad day for the 2nd seed and Matt has a chance.
