Rodionov is currently playing Kudla in the final of the Dallas Challenger, so that could be a baptism of fire for Mr Hopper.

Watched the tail end of the match. Rodionov won but looked out on his feet by the end. If I was a betting man (which I am not) I might put a quid on James playing a LL in the end after a withdrawal from Rodionov.

Time will tell.

I did, in fact, make two completely contrasting predictions, so in a way I was hedging my bets. wink

My comment was based on the first one.  I don't think actually saw/read the second, as I have no recollection of the Lucky Loser remark!  confuse

*****

SF:  Lloyd Glasspool & Alex Lawson (USA) CR 369 (212+157) vs (1) Luke Saville & John-Patrick Smith (AUS/AUS) CR 142 (39+103)

 

Lloyd will be pushing up his doubles ranking to another CH. His 29 ponts so far have him showing as live ranked #204. Very tough looking test now though.

That looks a very good effort in the SF by Lloyd & Alex. They are looking promising as a pair.
