Bet Rich is glad he canceled his stateside plans and entered here as a wildcard quali player
Mind you, here's also where you've got to feel a bit sad for Chessari who lost to Gabb in QR2 and is sitting there muttering, 'bloody ridiculous, I have to play in qualis against the guy who makes it all the way to the final.....'
Of course, if 33 year-old Chadaj wins the other semi, we'll have two qualifiers in the final.....
And in checking who was likely to win the TB between him and Tom F ( when on Monday week they are both on 36 points, as things stand GB #s 16 & 17 ) I had assumed that Tom would have had much fewer tournaments. But actually only just and Richard for whatever reasons has had spells of a couple of month or so with no ITF activity.
Hopefully both can compete regularly and move on up.
