Max stepped up to the plate and handled the pressure of being our sole week 51 representative with great aplomb !

QR2: Max Benaim UNR def. Can Kaya (TUR) UNR 6-3 5-7 6-1

FQR:  (q3) Gökberk (what a wonderful first name! ) Ergeneman (TUR) WR 1257 (CH = 1226 in August) vs Max Benaim UNR

And he had the whole of British tennis.net behind him this week!

Big thank you to max for entering while the rest are on a jolly in Belfast.

Young Max pops up in the doubles, courtesy of a wild card, as does Joe Cooper:

R1:  (1) Tuna Altuna & Cem Ilkel (TUR/TUR) CR 934 (394+540) vs Max Benaim & Geoffrey Blancaneaux FRA) UNR 
R1:  Joe Cooper & Alexander Perfilov (RUS) UNR (*) vs Gökberk Ergeneman & Berk ( ) Iliescu (TUR/TUR) UNR

(*) Joe's current doubles ranking is 1325, while the Russian currently has none, though his CH is 813 in September.  Two old-timers (29 & 30 respectively) versus a 20- & an 18-year-old.

The winners of those two matches face one another in the quarter-final.
