Does look a good battle from Dan.

Re earlier, the Budapest 250 field looks pretty strong, headed by Cilic and Coric and it looks as if Dan would have just missed the MD draw there with last direct acceptance Gojowczyk - 85.

Closer that I was expecting really.

^ It's actually Albert Ramos-Vinolas. H2H is in the Spanish players favour, in the DC tie last year but much has changed since then. Still not a walkover though.

No it's not: Albert Ramos is all that's needed, Ramos being the patronymic (his father's surname) & Viñolas the matronymic (his mother's maiden surname) - & it shouldn't be hyphenated. wink

ATP vs SC on grammar questions. Not sure I want to go there - especially if I am the ATP LOL.

The ATP may be the governing body for the men's professional game, but it's completely clueless in such matters. I would NEVER EVER take what it says as gospel. Far better to go to the horse's mouth (= TeniSpain), so to speak. wink

Granollers , Dan's conqueror beat jarry in fqr. Jarry gets a lucky loser spot, draws granollers and beats him in 3 sets. Granollers gets 10 points, jarry has 4 for fqr and 20 for first round win, making 24. Jarry is a lucky man.

Tennis abstract rate Ramos (note they call him Albert Ramos and leave out the Vinolas!) as favourite to be beat Cam
