Hoping Joe pushes on from his efforts in Bejar, just looking back through his record as a Memphis Tiger, who appear excited about the arrival of Andrew Watson already reporting his success at llkley and the Alma mater of Dan Manlow. One thing that struck me is that both Dan and Andrew are born on August 28th and likely to have much greater potential for improvement over a four year scholarship than a higher ranked junior who would be more difficult to recruit. Billy Beanesque me thinks.

The FQR results aren't up yet but the MD is out:


R1: James Marsalek WR 764 v Jorge Hernando Ruano (ESP) WR 689

R1: (2) Brydan Klein WR 367 v Qualifier


In the doubles, no Brydan this week but James and Joe are playing together, drawn against the French pair, Jankovits and Escoffier

 

Edited to show that Klein is in fact the second seed in the singles...

It goes without saying, really, but I really feel like Brydan has a strong opportunity to cement a period of good form here to push himself back into the top 300. If he could do that he'd find some Challenger DA's or at least CH qualifer seedings. Obviously he knows this all too well having been top 200!:)

read it and weep . . . ::((

R1: James Marsalek & Joe Salisbury CR 3226 lost to Antoine Escoffier & Yannick Jankovits (FRA/FRA) UNR 5-7 6-2 15-13

FQR: (q4) Joe Salisbury WR 1337 beat Leonardo Baldi (ITA) UNR (CH 1553 in 2012) by 6-3 4-6 6-4

Switching to the new rankings:

L32: James Marsalek WR 756 v Jorge Hernando Ruano (ESP) WR 686 (= CH)
L32: (Q) Joe Salisbury WR WR 1338 v Ádam Sanjurjo Hermida (ESP) WR 965 (CH 748 in 2013)
L32: (2) Brydan Klein WR 373 v (Q) Hugo Grenier (FRA) WR 1479 (CH 1440 in Jun)

James v JHR H2H: 0-1, 1 & 2, Pozoblanco 2013

But Jorge wins the second set 6-3 :(

I'm not sure what is going on with Brydan, but on paper he should be winning this comfortably and he is 1-5* down
