Nikki Roenn is also playing, put in (last minute?) as an alternate, it seems.


QR1: (A) Nikki Roenn v Alberto Caceres Casas (ESP) UNR


As far as I can tell, looks like Nikki was losing 3-6 1-2 when the match was stopped and play suspended for the day and it'll finish tomorrow

Nikki Roenn's match has now been spread over three days . . .

After stopping at 3-6, 1-2 on Saturday, they then resumed on Sunday whereby Nikki came back to win the second set 6-2. And play was suspended yet again with Nikki leading 5-4 in the third . . .

Matt's second round Q match is also pushed back to tomorrow.

And Matt and Marcus Willis play their first round doubles match too.

Glad to see that Marcus is getting the hang of cheapo flights :


Marcus Willis @Willbomb90 · Oct 12

Flying 'air Europa' for the first time today. £60 including a bag to Madrid. Cheaper than Glasgow F1!


And he and Matt have taken the first set TB, 8-6

I am sure he could have done better than that to Glasgow.  I have just booked easyjet Gatwick to Inverness for £9.99 one way!  Admittedly that's exceptional, but I can always do it return for less than £60 if I travel off-peak.

great budget travel !  Mind you, it's sometimes more tricky for the players because they have to get there on a certain day, for a certain time, but can't get there a day early coz that's an extra hotel night - it makes the times a bit restricted.

I think 60 pounds to Spain is pretty good though. . . smile

The ITF site now says that Matt and Marcus won 6-2 6-2 but that can't be right as the score was ticking along nicely on the board and is as Stircrazy reported it (although a win's a win, so who cares really . . . )

However, looks like Nikki won his second round Q match :)

QR2: (A) Nikke Roenn def. (q12) Valentino Ciotti (ITA) WR 1722 6-4 6-1


Nice win for him.


FQR: (A) Nikke Roenn v (q8) Ivan Gomez Mantilla (ESP) WR 906 (CH 877 in March)

FQR: (q6) Matt Short WR 1105 v (q16) Eduardo Angres Urgell Bustamante (ESP) WR 2120 (CH 1894 in Jan)

 It be great for A1 Pharmaceuticals TA if the wilbomb /shortie partnership clicks this week . I think shortie could be a positive influence so let's hope the partnership progresses to the final
