Bulgaria satellite - week 2

Rd1: S Konov [GB] bt E Vassilev [Bul] 6-1, 6-4

Rd2: S Konov [GB] v D Sakac [Cro]

An unranked Croatian in rd2 for Simon, Sakac is in form having won 6-0, 6-2 in rd1 so he'll be tough to beat.

Rd2: D Sakac [Cro] bt S Konov [GB] 4-6, 6-3, 6-4

This is not the end of British participation in this tournament as Myles Blake is in the main draw.

Main draw:

Rd1: M Blake [GB] v T Grozdanov [Bul] [WC]

Another good draw for Myles, hopefully having spent a week practising on the red clay will pay off. Grozdanov is ranked 1356 at 17. He also received a wildcard last week and lost in 3 sets to Yordan Kanev who's ranked 1060.

I'm tempted to say that Myles should win but I won't as I seem to have jinxed a lot of Brits recently by doing that

Have a bet on Grozdanov! That seems to work!

Sheddie · administrator

Lol, I would do but there aren't any odds

Never mind, Myles won anyway - 7-5 6-7(4) 6-3.

He plays German David Klier ranked 923 next.

Great win for Myles

I don't rate his chances of beating Klier though

Although the German isn't ranked much higher [wr:923] he won week 1 of the satellite last week

2nd rd: Myles lost 75 36 61 to Klier.

Shame, came close.

Better luck next week, hopefully.
