Coup Droit · Tennis legend

So Ignatik scraped though his first round of qualis, winning 7-6 in the third.
Then won his second round of qualis, 6-4 in the third.
And then lost in the third round of the qualis, in two sets.

BUT got a place in the main draw as a Lucky Loser.......and is now through to the final !

Well done, that man.

Disappointing, as they had their chances in the CTB, but as they weren't seeded to go anywhere, I guess this counts as a good week for them & the Russians are certainly no slouches.
