Iman Garshong was in Antalya for week 18. She was 18.390 on the date of her first match. She won two rounds of qaulifying, but lost in the FQR.
Blob I have drawn a line at those still able to compete in Juniors this year the oldest of which are born on the 1/1/2000 otherwise many of the other 1999ers would still qualify for example the likes of Jody Burrage who represent a different group of young but senior players. Its obviously not a police state and grateful for anything you post but that was my rational.
Meanwhile in Uganda George who is junior eligible in 2019 takes on the 5 th seed.
More than steady result form George, this whole cohort of 2001 ers on the boys side plus Holly and Emma will be very entertaining to follow through their first steps into senior tennis.
Well, ignoring 'Grandad Kyle', and unless I've missed someone, George and Emilie, (and Finn, who's only just out of Junior-ITF-nappies) are now our last singles standing !
Well done, the youngsters - and good luck to them.
I dont think George is quite done here yet, nice result against an experienced opponent over three sets coming back strongly in the third. Impressive stuff
QF: (Q) George Loffhagen UNR defeated (2) Fabrizio Ornago (ITA) WR 430 by 6-3 2-6 6-3
No play to the finish today for George whose match was suspended but Emile lost her semi final yesterday to the eventual winner, a smashing week for Emilie never the less.
SF: LINDH GALLAGHER, Emilie (GBR) [Q] UNR lost to GLUSHKO, Lina (ISR) 1062=CH 18yrs (JCH:215 Sept 16) 3-6 3-6
WEEK 18 and still posting on Sunday which means someone has had a spectacular week. A very decent semi-final scalp
for George and a sterner year in the final but no capitulation against a top 300 player!
SF: (Q) George Loffhagen UNR beat (4) Goran Markovic (SRB) WR 961 (CH = 957 in February) 6-4 6-4 smile
Final: (Q) George Loffhagen UNR v (1) Ivan Nedelko (RUS) WR 267 (CH 244 Apr 2018)
Final: (Q) George Loffhagen UNR lost to (1) Ivan Nedelko (RUS) WR 267 (CH 244 Apr 2018) 4-6, 4-6
George returns for a second week this time in the main draw as a SE after last weeks success
L32: (5) Tyler Lu (USA) WR 948 (CH = 946 in February) vs (SE) George Loffhagen UNR
Tyler now 22 was a strong college player in a weaker conference, he dominated (7-0) in conference play at the no 1 spot as Captain of Yale. He graduated last summer. An interesting choice of institution given he is from SoCal and the relative strength of the PAC 12 both academic and athletic ie. clever very good tennis players are 10 a penny and the day to day standard of practice and competition much higher. His standout win was at Cal where he beat the highly ranked Florian Lakat at the no 1 slot but his team lost. He has been trying his hand at challenger qualifying in south east Asia with little success. Should be a good test for George
