QR1: (q3) Scott Clayton WR 1269 beat Abdulla al-Jufairi (QAT) UNR by 1 & 0

He's a 15-year-old with an LTA rating of 5.1 playing his first Futures event. He has only played two ITF junior events, both in Portugal in August, losing 1 & 3 and 1 & 0 in singles and getting double bagelled in doubles, so even though we don't know anything about his opponent, this would be quite a win for him if he can pull it off.

ditto

but, yes, shame but a good show . . .

QR1: (q6) Evan Hoyt WR 1423 def. Ahmed al Ali (QAT) UNR 6-0 6-0

Scott was a long way down in that first set but came back to win the TB 7-5

Evan won 6-1 6-2

FQR: (q3) Scott Clayton WR 1269 beat Amir el-Bayoumy (EGY) UNR by 7-6(5) 6-1
FQR: (q6) Evan Hoyt WR 1423 beat Ameur Ben Hassen (TUN) UNR by 1 & 2

L32: (Q) Scott Clayton WR 1214 v (6) Tihomir Grozdanov (BUL) WR 453 (CH 443 in Sep) - H2H 0-1, title last week
L32: (8) Liam Broady WR 471 v (Q) Niels Lootsma (NED) WR 1603 (CH 1595 in Jun)
L32: (Q) Evan Hoyt WR 1320 v Tom Schonenberg (GER) WR 683 (= CH)
L32: Toby Martin WR 886 v (WC) Abdulla al Mohamoud (QAT) UNR
L32: Luke Bambridge WR 758 v (2) Roberto Ortega-Olmedo (ESP) WR 346 (CH 345 last week)

Scott gets another go at the player who edged him 7-5 in the 3rd in R2 last week and it's not like Luke to draw a top 2 seed, is it. Oh wait ...

On the other hand, Toby's opponent's six singles matches on the ITF pro circuit this year have seen him get double bagelled 3 times, lose 1 & 1 twice and 0 & 1 once.

Edit: Grozdanov won the QAT F4 title today; also, new rankings now edited into the main draw list
