Miriambee · Futures level

Now appeared on tomorrow's schedule in L32 playing Kevin Gardner UNR (Ant).

He and his opponent were 4th and 2nd resp on the qualifying list, but the top of the quali draw was 9th.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Derrick's only 15, born in 2003.

The guy he's playing is 35

On top of which, he's never been ranked and yet has played a huge number of events. In fact, Mr Gardner looks like contender for the wooden spoon award.

Good luck, Derrick !

Doesnt sound like the opposition was much but you can only beat what is in front of you.

Considering the changes to ATP points. I wonder how long it will be till we get another U16 get their first ATP points.
