Wow - what a win for Stuart Parker! Takes out Gabashvili 7-6 6-3. Must be best win for him so far?

Well done Stuart. Amazing result. Just wondering, how come he doesn't play many tournaments nor has a junior record?

CD said something more about him a little while ago... perhaps he can recap?

CD is definitely the Stuart Parker expert here, but from what he has said previously, Stuart has spent a lot of time playing French League tennis and been quite successful there.  I will let CD fill in the details.

As far as I know (which is not a lot):

He plays for St Malo, so very easy from Jersey. 

But has chosen to base himself now properly in France for the sake of his tennis. 

He actually plays a lot money tournaments, and high level team tennis. Which is why you know from his domestic ranking that he's under-ranked at ITF level - the domestic rankings in France are very good indicators because they're based on such a depth of results - Stuart's played 30 pretty top level matches in the last 4 months. He's beaten Michon, Obry, Broville, Ivo Klec, Alexandru, Martineau and other decent players (some of these no longer play ITFs but they're all playing lots of top domestic tennis)

I had always assumed he was doing studies somewhere, which was why he wasn't playing so much at age 19, 20 etc., and now - age 21 - can really go for it. But I don't know if that's true....

The lack of junior tennis is, again I assume, just the sign of someone who played domestic tournaments instead, as many do. But, again, not sure. He certainly played for Jersey's team in many commonwealth-y sort of events

The Spanish qualifier saw off Musialek in straight sets...

Thanks CD. Interesting to see the different routes people can take. And good to see he's underranked. Will look out for him from now on.

Someone DM'd me on Twitter with some of that info earlier - was that you in disguise?
