Boys: Almetyevsk Cup, Russia, indoor hard - Grade 3 (Week 9)
Permalink  

Jacob Fearnley stays in Russia for a G3 event with many of the same players as in the Kazan G1 (the French lads who Jacob beat in the semis and final are two of the top seeds here). If you think Britain is cold at the moment try going here - -19C at present and falling.

R1 (L32)

David Georgadze (RUS) v (8) Jacob Fearnley

Connor Thomson v (Q) Tamerlan Evloev (RUS)

Both Jacob and Connor got two-set wins in their singles today.

And they've won two rounds of doubles together and are into the semis.

And the pair go marching on, with a mega tie-break in the third set by Jacob, and an 'easy' win over the t5th seed by Connor

QF

(8) Jacob Fearnley def. Giacomo Dambrosi (ITA) 3-6 6-2 7-6 (12!!!)

Connor Thomson def. (5) Andrey Uvarov (RUS) 6-4 7-6(4)


Connor was pointed out at the start of the year when he 'suddenly' (for those who didn't know the lad) sprung up and had that brilliant run in the UAE, at G4 level. Seems to now have moved seemlessly into a higher level again.

The Scots are finding and managing their talent well.
I saw Connor at The Wirral G5 in November and the talent is definitely there. Good around game. He lost to one of the Maxted boys in a nightly match(on and off court). I also saw Jacob the year before and he really gave the older lads some matches.
