After Maxime Janvier, Dave gets another interesting French teenager, who got a fair bit of mention on this forum when he lost, narrowly, to Alex Ward in the final in Portugal (having beaten Luke in R1):

 

R1: (7) Dave Rice WR 355  v Calvin Hemery (FRA) WR 526

 

Dave is playing the doubles with Kevin King (USA), seeded second.

This is the kind of match Dave has been losing recently but he is serving for the match here 6-4 *5-4

Hmm, then again - on live scores he is serving for the match at *5-4 but on bet365 it's only *4-3 in the 2nd set ...

... and on bet365, he is 40-0 up but on livescores he is 0-40 down (seems very odd bet365 being behind but I guess they must be) ... ah, suddenly bet365 switches to Dave serving for the match 15-40 down and now the two scoreboards agree again.

... but now Hemery has a 4th, also saved!

Break point no. 5 ... taken

6-4 5-5*

Sadly, Dave's run of losses to lower-ranked opponents continues, having so nearly ended in a straight sets win

L32: (7) Dave Rice WR 359 lost to Calvin Hemery (FRA) WR 527 (CH 520 in Dec) by 4-6 7-6(4) 6-3

Another gloom on the singles front (although not completely unexpected . . . )

But better news, and revenge, in the doubles:

QF: (2) Kevin King (USA) & Dave Rice CR 334 (128+206) def. Calvin Hémery & Constant Lestienne (FRA/FRA) CR 1658 (995+663) 6-3 6-2


In the semis, they play fourth seeds, Barrere and Peliwo
