Week 40 - Sweden F5 ($25,000) - Falun (indoor hard)

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Ed is heading to the states for a couple of futures week 42 and 43 where he will be seeded to get to the semis at least then presumably finish the season with the Charlottsville Knoxville Champaign challengers. If he were to win the title here I estimate he'd only need about another 30 points or so from those 5 weeks to make Aus Open qualies. Got to be a good chance now.

I can only see Ed entered into the first of those two futures, no sign of him in week 43???

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Yeah seems just the Texas futures event then prob prepare for 3 challengers. The assumption probably that he'd have to go through qualies for challengers therefore going to California wouldn't make sense as he wouldn't be able to sign in.

It's 2-2 in the third.

Madadman · Masters Series Champion

Into a tie break now in the 3rd.

Yes. That was a really tight match but Lokoli Ed came out on top.

You mean you think Mr Corrie might have a better chance given that it's a foreign and not the Frenchman's Lokol(i) tournament?

(Apologies, but the gauntlet had been thrown down ... so what could one do? Would have to say that Dan Smethurst really should join our board - if he hasn't already under a pseudonym. That was a brilliantly appalling pun

Nice one, Spec.

Yep, no Lokol advantage for the Frenchman ..... works a treat, and Ed gets his revenge ! smile

Etienne · Club Coach

He must be Falun positive now.
