Week 46 - Challenger (€42,500) - IPP Open, Helsinki, Finland (indoor hard) - doubles
Permalink  

Jonny has found himself a new partner & Darren's staying in the Nordic region to have another crack at Challengers:

R1:  (WC) Lucas Renard & Jesper Saarni (SWE/FIN) CR 2298 (778+1520) vs Sander Arends (NED) & Darren Walsh CR 666 (411+255)
R1:  Jonny Marray & Philipp Petzschner (GER) CR 290 (83+207) vs (4) Radu Albot & Enrique López (MDA/ESP) CR 269 (119+150)

We could end up with two Brits in the quarters (not beyond the realms of possibility, I'd've thought ), one or none, as, sadly, the winners of those two encounters play one another!

What an odd partnership. A man who displayed outstanding honesty and sportsmanship in a Grand Slam final teams up with a man who displayed appalling dishonesty in a Grand Slam final.  I hope that this is only a temporary arrangement.

I must confess I raised an eyebrow when I saw that.  Maybe some of Jonny's sportsmanship will rub off on the Kraut?  We can but live in hope...

My first instincts were rather as both of yours. But perhaps Mr Marray knows of a turning away from his past on Mr Petzschner's part to which we, as the general public, aren't and can't be privy. In which case, one can only hope that the influence of Mr Marray's character will further the trend.

What's the story on Petzschner? First I've heard of this.

"Petzschner cheat" in youtube should help.

And it's on the line. Just a slight problem though !

No luck for the Spanish seeds getting that pair :) And probably not much more for Darren and Anders.

What a relief!  They lead by a break early in the second set...  The identity of their opponents in the final won't be known until later today.

Talk about mucking up what should have been a routine win and then getting out of jail. The Romanian duo had match point on serve at *9-8 in the match tie break.
