Week 2 - Australian Open Qualifying
Permalink  

QR1: Liam Broady (GBR) WR 193 vs. [7] Farrukh Dustov (UZB) WR 120 (CH 118 Nov'14)

Other seed in the section is [21] Theimo de Bakker (NED) WR 138

 

QR1: Brydan Klein (GBR) WR 253 vs. Dane Propoggia (AUS) WR 323 (CH 320 Dec'14)
QR1: Kyle Edmund (GBR) WR 192 vs. Tristan Lamasine (FRA) WR 229 (CH 214 Oct'14)

Both in the same section, seeds are [12] Norbert Gombos (SVK) WR 125 and [22] Somdev Devvarman (IND) WR 139

 

Tough start for Liam, could end up being blown off the court by Dustov although I think he's pretty erratic so hopefully Liam gets him on one of his off colour days.  Brydan against his usual doubles partner and I've never heard of Kyle's opponent but looks like a good 1st round draw.  Brydan and Kyle in the same section but if they are playing each other in the final round it would probably be a good thing to have 1 guaranteed qualifier.

Australian Open usually provides streaming from qualifying but I can't remember which court(s) they cover

 think it was show court 3 last year, but notice they are using show court 2 for quals also this year.

not an easy draw for Liam but hey, this is qualies for a grand slam - not meant to be easy!

Quite fancy Kyle's chances actually, v reasonable draw for him (and Brydan).

Brydan's H2H v Propoggia is 7-3 and he won their last two meetings last year.

 they do seem to play each other a lot! Guess there's a limited pool of players in the Aus tournaments so they're bound to bump into each other from time to time.

Not bad draws really, could've been put in a lot worse sections.

11pm start tonight so I might manage to stay up for Liam's match

Weather for Melbourne area

Mostly cloudy. High (70%) chance of showers, most likely in the morning and early afternoon, particularly over eastern suburbs. Winds northwesterly 15 to 25 km/h turning southwesterly 25 to 35 km/h in the morning.

www.bom.gov.au/vic/forecasts/melbourne.shtml

Looks like our guys will be playing at the frustrating time of day so expect rain delays.

Dustov played Ok in Doha but was beaten by a 138 ranked player in qualies. Both Liam and Dustov had exceptional end of season runs of form. I get the impression Liam is really pumped for this match, would have preferred a kinder draw, but its winnable.

Kind draw for Kyle, so fingers crossed he can do the biz.

 Good spot, it looks as if there could be a delayed start, with that forecast expecting showers to pass over by midday.

Nice BBC article about Kyle and Liam pre-Oz

Tristan Lamasine was French Junior Champion 17-18 year olds but never quite made the jump to seniors as expected (he's now 21). Things finally seem to be falling into place a little better (made the semis of 2 Challengers) but it's gradual progress and very much based on clay. Kyle should be stronger.

 sounds like a French version of Liam!

Looking like a prompt start in Melbourne without any interruptions, breezy conditions.

Any ideas on the stream? I don't think bet365 have it.
