Two rotten draws, actually - though I'd agree that there's a slight difference in scale .... as long as Raja and Sharan play Challengers, they're about as lousy a draw as one can get.
Wow, you must have had your Frosties this morning, Ed !
Well done.
Just by the by, the guy he's just beaten SO well, but with so much difficulty, was the guy that Imran Aswat lost to by only 7-6(6) 7-5 a week or two back in Egypt.

Ed got an early break on Halys and was playing super, intelligent tennis - and then threw in horrendous game at *4-3 (netted a relatively easy volley, two absolutely awful forehands and a DF) to give the break back. Then very close but Halys ended up taking the first set 7-5
