Week 23 - Challenger (€42,500) - Surbiton, GB (Grass)
Permalink  

The Q draw is out.

Alex Ward has a wc (which was to be expected, I think, when he went out early in Slovenia).

Nice to see that the youngsters do too - Alexis Canter and Joel Cannell both in as WCs.

Lewis Burton making an appearance too (although draws the second seed).

Enzo Coucaud WR 216 is the top seed (and the opponent in QR2 for Marcus if he beats Scott)

Cartman is now called Slimbomb.  If you say that to him, he will probably know who you have been talking to.

 Yeah! Looks like it should be a good one Marcus, dan, Luke Playing tomorrow. I see Lewis burton has also popped up! I'll definitely be there saturday potentially Sunday. Monday and Tuesday is a very outside chance depending on work. It's only one bus from my house . Tempted to get a ticket for next weekend but meant to be in Brighton at the same time!!

Surprised that Marcus didn't get a MDWC considering Surbiton is his home club.

I guess perhaps he wanted some more games on grass and he was given a WC last week.

Not a bad draw for the Brits - we should get someone through. Evo looks like he is back into tennis.

James, Liam, Brydan into main draw with Ed, Dan C, Josh M and another(Rice or JWH)

The Ukranian definitely lives in England.

I saw him play at the futures event down there, so it might even be his club.

Reasonable game - rather 'clay' in style - when I walked into the gallery that overlooks the courts, and looked at the six courts, you couldn't really recognise the players faces/builds very well but I turned to the guy I was with (who was one of the committee people at the club) and asked him who the 'European' guy on the far court was - the style stood out a mile away, it's just different.

He's played quite a few of the GB futures events too.

Thanks for that, CD.  Nice to have a little bit more background.  The name was new to me:  even if he has played in a few Futures events here, arguably because of his nationality (& lack of impact in main draws?  I rarely bother looking at qualies results), it's never registered.  I did wonder, however, whether he might be resident here (can't really blame him for preferring the UK to Ukraine at the moment! wink ), but both the ATP & the ITF sites are singularly unhelpful on place of residence.
