RE: Week 14 - Turkey F10 ($10,000) - Antalya - Belconti (Hard)


L16: George Coupland WR 728 lost to (4) Wilson Leite (BRA) WR 386 (CH 371 in Dec) by 3 & 3
L16: (Q) Jathan Malik WR 1009 lost to (2) Roman Jebavı (CZE) WR 354 (CH 297 in Sep) by 4 & 5

Given the rankings gaps and their opponents, the scorelines could have been a lot worse.

Of course you can!  He's a Turk, not a Brit! wink  For the record, he was a member of the Turkish Davis Cup team which was thrashed by Team GB (Jamie Baker, Dino, Colin & Ken Skupski) by 5-0 in a Group II Europe/Africa relegation play-off at Devonshire Park in July 2010.  Altuna played the first of the "dead" rubbers, losing to JB by 3 & 2.

I think that what SC is saying is that you have no Altuna-tive. (Sorry. And I sympathise with your dilemma)

George and partner unfortunately lost their doubles final today, 6-2 6-3

But always nice to at least make a final :)
