James just served for the match. And got broken.

But still 5-3* - he'll have another chance. (Breaking now though would make it even easier....)

Scott going well - leading 3*-0 in the second

 

add: didn't break so will now have to serve it out . . . (again) . . .

And Scott comes through 6-4 6-2 as well, against the eight seed --- four out of four in Qatar --- :)

Great win for Scott and good battling win for Marzi, Merckx served for the match at *5-3 in the second.

Fantastic news from Qatar with 4 wins from 4 and looking ahead, some very winnable matches in the L16 too. However the last one listed above looks a bit one-sided wink

Whoops!   Oversight duly remedied. wink

I also forgot to add yesterday evening that Marzi's opponent, Belot, upset the seventh seed, the rising young Aussie, Harry Bourchier, by 2 & 4, so I think he's going to be a bit of a handful.

Belot is a solid, standard player, but one of the many in France who was getting near the top 500 or so at age 20/21 and then couldn't make it happen, and dropped away, doing other stuff.

He's has a dreadful start to the year (played 6 tournament, won 1 match, although some very close matches), and a feeble year last year - lost to players ranked outside the top 1000, lost to Imran Aswat, barely a decent tournament the whole year - though picked up some OK domestic wins.

I think it might be quite close (I think he's slightly underranked at 922) but I don't think Marzi should be scared of him (and rising youngsters are notoriously unreliable so wouldn't necessarily think that Con played well to beat Harry).

Vibert has a very similar profile but seems to not play in France - on tour nearly all the time. Farris beat him last year. Dave should manage fine.

And Dave managed just fine, indeed - dispatching Vibert 6-1 6-1 - not like Dave to be quite so decisive Long may it continue . . .

Scott won 7-6 7-6

Milts is a set up

Possible 4 QF and two semi finalists?

Scott now plays Dave for a chance to meet Bossel (probably) in the semi final

Marzi lost the first set 6-3

Top half of the draw is opening up for Milts who won 6-2 6-1 as the top seed has gone.

Marzi hanging in 4*5 second set
