Week 3 - France F2 - Bressuire - 10k+H - Indoor Hard

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Stuart gets a guy called Nathan Seateun, 18, used to be junior about 350, hasn't really played much recently.

He's the younger brother of Charlene, who used to be junior 25 or so, and made it to WTA 350 or so in adults but has seemingly dropped out (is about 23 now).

Scott has a player who's 17, and is the best of the three - has an adult ATP ranking (about 1800), made the QFs of the U18 national championships last August, plays well......

(Never heard of Billy's opponent)

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Billy has won his QR2 match,

Q Round 2

Billy HARRIS (GBR) [13] 6-0 6-2 Victor LIOPE (FRA)

Scott won the first set 7-5 against the good junior, and a break up in the second. Stuart yet to play. (Think Stuart and Scott know each other well, both from Jersey, both play French team tennis for the same team....)

Miriambee · Futures level

They are on an ambitious programme today, trying to play over 30 matches on just 4 courts.

Saw Yann play an amazing match, in the final round of the Wimbly qualifiers two years' ago, against Luke Saville, which Yann lost be a whisker: losing 6-2 3-6 7-5 6-7(7) 6-8

Brilliant tennis.

Really unlucky draw for Billy.

(And another reason that late entries should either get a MD WC or not at all......)

I thought it wasn't just my imagination that they played the GS qualies over 5 sets - so why was it only 3 sets this time?

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Don't quote me on this but I think it's only Wimbledon that does.

(Like it's only Wimbly that has doubles qualis?)

TMH · Futures qualifying

Wimbledon FQR is the only qualifying round in tennis that is over five sets.
