Week 36 - Challenger ($42,500) - TEAN International Tournament - Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands - (clay) - doubles


R1:  Victor Hanescu & Adrian Ungur (ROU/ROU) CR 1298 (1173+125) vs (3) Alexandru-Daniel Carpen (ROU) & Darren Walsh CR 436 (277+159)

Wonder whether Darren speaks any Romanian!

Looks could be a bit tough, given the high doubles ranked Romanian clearly has ability.

I think I half-expected that.

Reasonably. It's a completely fallacious ranking on the winners' side: Ungur is a fine player, and Hanescu is ex-top-100 in singles and doubles ... current lowly doubles ranking reflects the fact that he hasn't played one doubles match all year.

A casuist! No. He has played none. He was down to play at Houston, but gave a W/O. You are correct: "a" or "a single" would have been better than "one"  In fact, the latter was what I originally wrote, but "a single doubles match" seemed confusing, so I amended it ... to no good effect.

Sorry, I know I shouldn't have said anything, but I needed to get my amusement somehow....
