I often come on this forum to find, sadly, that no one has made it to Friday (usually Quarter Finals day). So I'm going to start this thread to celebrate those that do!
Week 45
Challenger 80 ($54,160+H) - Knoxville, TN, USA (hard)
QF: Liam Broady WR 262 vs Gijs Brouwer (NED) WR 441 (CH = 342 Aug 19)
ITF M15 - Cancún, Mexico (hard)
QF: (1) Jorge Panta (PER) WR 522 (CH = 512 in April 2015) vs (7) Paul Jubb WR 610
ITF M15 - Heraklion, Greece (hard)
QF: (1) Geoffrey Blancaneaux (FRA) WR 313 (CH = 266 in April last year) vs Anton Matusevich WR 689

7 guys have a Friday feeling, although it's not the quarters yet in Heraklion or Cancun, for some reason.

This is the silly time of the year, everyone is bored. I remember a december once on this forum, 10 or so years ago. People were getting into excitement fits, because Alex Slabinksky reached a QF of a nigerian futures. In all fairness it was one of the $25,000 plus hospitality futures.
