The battle in the lower reaches of the Top 25 table heats up another notch.

Well done Jack.

There are a few breaking into that top 700 now.

SF: Jack Carpenter WR 741 v (2) Ricardo Rodríguez (VEN) WR 360 (CH 282 in Jun)

Watched Rodriguez lose to Kyle in Murcia last year. Solid but unspectacular would be the best description of his style but having said that, it was pouring with rain throughout the whole match.

Given Jack's love of a battle, it wouldn't surprise me to see a long 3 setter in the SF.

jack currently 0-4 down :(

jack recovered well but the deficit was a bit too large.

Jack lost 4-6 1-6

SF: Jack Carpenter WR 741 lost to (2) Ricardo Rodríguez (VEN) WR 360 (CH 282 in Jun) by 4 & 1

He should be close to his career high when these points go on though.

Pity. Thought Jack would push him closer but still a good week. Jack has only 1 point to defend between now and May next year. Definite candidate for a top 500 spot.

Champions in the doubles yet again !!!

Final : Scott Clayton & Richard Gabb CR 1181 (654+527) def. (4) Ramkumar RAMANATHAN (IND) / Ricardo RODRIGUEZ (VEN) 7-5 7-6(7)

Both Richard and Scott have had a pretty skinny time of things on this trip, on the singles front - rather disappointing from both.

So it's brilliant to see the success they've had in the doubles - two titles and one semi ??? Must change the whole calculation for them - well done !
