 Hehe, I am a judge, what can I say!

L32:  (1) Brydan Klein WR 231 defeated (Q) Congsup Congkar (THA) WR 1426 by 0 & 3

L32:  (SE) Jonny Gray WR 1106 defeated (6) Kento Takeuchi (JPN) WR 497 by 4-6 7-6(3) 6-3 

*****

L16:  (1) Brydan Klein WR 231 vs (Q) Chiu Yu Hsiang (TPE) WR 1057 (= CH)

L16:  (SE) Jonny Gray WR 1106 vs Haadin Bava (IND) WR 860 (CH = 859 last week)

 

Great to see, 3 set comeback win on the brink in the second. I think there are wins and wins, this was a very good one for a number of reasons.

Belief is essential to reach your potential. Once you've done it once against a guy ranked 500 places above you know you can do it again.

Great, obviously a bit of juice still in the tank, as a "Dirty" Leeds fan he must be used to adversity.

This year his losses have been to Jay (418) in three, Brydan (231) in three, Otto (365), Rungkat (423) in three, Marcus (404). That's promising, hoping for continued success here and then back to the UK for grass and a good run in a tougher set of futures through the summer.

The American summer futures swing is a very good test with the under ranked US College standouts making even the early rounds a lottery.

Yes, I agree.

Very good win. There's more pressure to win the 'easy' match, you've nothing to lose in the 'hard' one.

And Jonny now gets Aussie, Jake Delaney, who got a walkover in his match (against 4th seed, Finn Tearney, who Jonny beat last week - maybe Finn has some ongoing injury problem). Jake is the same age as Jonny, was junior 37 a couple of years back, is ATP 847 now.

Oh they are all coming out now! Very impressed by the chairman and his approach to recruiting managers, the Brownian motion approach finally paid off. Finally all molecules travelling in the same direction and we saw the equivalent of a brick jump in the recruitment of Mr Monk.

Recently spent some time there sitting next to a Peter Lorimer cardboard cut out, Elland Rd probably the 4th best ground in the championship after Newcastle, Villa and Burton Albion, so would not begrudge them a trip to the playoffs, and a semi-final defeat to Wednesday.
