QR1: (q10) Sizya Ernest Kivanda WR 1995 vs (qWC) Tommaso Rombai (ITA) UNR (Kivanda took the first set 6-2) QR1: (q9) George Davies WR 1750 vs Edoardo Zecchinelli (ITA) UNR (Davies leading *5-1 in the final set)
Unlucky for George. More 'unlucky' is that he didn't sign into the lucky losers because Sizyq obviously did and, presumably, was ranked lower but got the call:
R1: (LL) Sizya Kivanda WR 1994 v (wc) Riccardo Merone (ITA) WR 1623 (CH = 1569 a few months ago)
Also:
R1: (7) James Marsalek WR 718 v Francesco Vilardo (ITA) WR 787 (CH = 767 end-July)
R1: (6) Dave Rice WR 542 v (q) Andrea Vavassori (ITA) WR 1282
lucky losers don't work like that at ITF - you apply and it is drawn randomly
From the rulebook:
The order of the ranked players shall be randomly drawn,
thereafter the order of the unranked players shall be drawn.
Protected Ranking shall not be used.

Cheers, paulisi. I always gets confused between ATP and ITF (and WTA???).
At least Sizya will have got a pay-cheque which is better than nothing
And George seems to be getting better results recently - he's young - I wouldn't be surprised to see him have a bit of a light-bulb moment at some point soon.
