Week 14 - Qatar F2 ($10,000) - Doha (Hard)

Jaffa · Challenger level

I'm sure I saw Scott Clayton tweet he was going to Doha yesterday, is he not on the lists?

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Think he got in directly - he was two off the top when I last looked

Young Finn Bass (age 15 1/2) receiving, at 1*-5 second set, for his first win in an adult ITF tournament, and his first against an ATP ranked player.

And Finn wins, 6-4 6-1

the ITF site says that Tristan won too but Livescores says ITF has got the result the wrong way round - I tend to believe Livescores . . .

Armon Rabiee also comes through easily, 6-3 6-0

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Tristan's result now confirmed as being put in the wrong way round . . .

FQR: Finn Bass v Alexander Dheka (ZIM) UNR age 30

FQR: Armon Rabiee v (q1) Dominik Kellovsky (CZE) WR 1132

Great chance (on paper) for young Finn to qualify for his first 10k MD (Dheka beat a local 15 year-old in R1 and it seems that was his first ever pro match - so I guess he's batting 1 out of 1, 100% record

)

Finn living up to expectations - currently 5-0* up :)

The other bloke's only won 5 points . . .

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

FQR: Finn Bass def. Alexander Dheka (ZIM) UNR age 30 6-0 6-0

FQR: Armon Rabiee lost to (q1) Dominik Kellovsky (CZE) WR 1132 6-1 6-0

Four of the Q spots are against Brits in the MD ! Good chance Finn will get one . . .

A double bagel for the 15 yr old and into the main draw where he will probably draw a Brit, all 4 Brits have got qualifiers/LL and there are no locals to draw either....

We are up and running in Doha as well now. Young Finn Bass holding his own in the early exchanges with Josh M.

Josh to serve at *1-2

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Finn doing a lot more than holding his own. He breaks to lead *3-1.
