Darren's trying his hand at Challenger level again, though with a partner of whom, I freely admit, I've never heard:
R1: Sebastian Bader (AUT) & Darren Walsh CR 564 (287+277) vs Flavio Cipolla & Simone Vagnozzi (ITA/ITA) CR 517 (172+345)
Darren finally gets another Challenger-level win, $225 & at least 15 ranking points under his belt:
R1: Sebastian Bader (AUT) & Darren Walsh CR 585 (284+301) defeated Flavio Cipolla & Simone Vagnozzi (ITA/ITA) CR 516 (172+344) by 6-3 2-6 [10-8]
Yet more Italians in the next round, only this time they're seeded:
QF: (4) Alessio di Mauro & Alessandro Motti (ITA/ITA) CR 505 (351+154) vs Sebastian Bader (AUT) & Darren Walsh CR 585 (284+301)
Close, but ultimately not to be.
QF: (4) Alessio di Mauro & Alessandro Motti (ITA/ITA) CR 505 (351+154) defeated Sebastian Bader (AUT) & Darren Walsh CR 585 (284+301) by 6-4 3-6 [11-9]
They had, I think, three match points at one stage.
