Boys & Girls: J300 Salinas, Ecuador, hard (Week 5)
Permalink  

The second of the high grade Latin American hard court events didn't get off to the best start from a British perspective, as both Oliver Bonding and Hugo Coquelin lost in qualifying via match tiebreaks.  The main draw sees Henry Searle pitted against the 14 year old star who is on a 30 match unbeaten run after claiming the San Jose title (and would be top seed on this week's rankings). Should Henry win he may play the Costa Rica runner-up, who beat him last week

Boys R1 (L32)

Tianhui Zhang (CHN) v Luca Pow

(SE) Thijs Boogaard (NED) v Henry Searle

(LL) Jose Murariu (USA) v Phoenix Weir

Girls R1 (L32)

Imogen Haddad v (Q) Shannon Lam (USA)

Isabelle Lacy v Gloriana Nahum (BEN)

(8) Hephzibah Oluwadare v Piper Charney (USA)

I missed the fact that we had 4 girls in qualifying - Ellie Blackford, Ruby Cooling, Daniela Piani and Given Roach. Only Ellie reached final qualifying, unfortunately retiring against the girl who now faces Imogen (a girl who double bagelled Hannah Klugman in the world juniors and trounced Mimi Xu in the Orange Bowl)

Henry has finally broken the run of Boogaard. Nice straight sets win for him. Phoenix also goes through.

Sadly Imogen had to retire when 0-3 down in the first set. Hep lost her first round match in the singles. Better luck in the doubles, she goes through to the next round with Isabelle.

Luca and Henry sail through their doubles match but Oliver Bonding+ loses in the first round.

Isabelle up against the number 4 seed today, Henry the 8th seed, Luca the number 1 seed and Phoenix the number 2 seed. A tough day to come!

Great result for Henry, though playing Thijs immediately after his second big title may have been helpful. Unfortunate that he has to play Horovitz as expected again - that won't happen in the early stages next week (Colombia) as both will be seeded. The Peruvian second seed has all his scoring tournaments on clay, so Phoenix may have an opportunity.

Boys R1 (L32)

Luca Pow d. Tianhui Zhang (CHN) 6-4 6-3
Henry Searle d. (SE) Thijs Boogaard (NED) 6-4 6-0
Phoenix Weir d. (LL) Jose Murariu (USA) 6-0 6-3

R2

(1) Kaylan Bigun (USA) v Luca Pow
Henry Searle v (8) Roy Horovitz (USA)
Phoenix Weir v (2) Josue Guzman (PER)

Girls R1 (L32)

(Q) Shannon Lam (USA) d. Imogen Haddad 3-0 rtd
Isabelle Lacy d. Gloriana Nahum (BEN) 6-3 1-0 rtd
Piper Charney (USA) d. (8) Hephzibah Oluwadare 6-4 7-6(2)

R2

Isabelle Lacy v (4) Mia Slama (USA)

In a bit of an about turn in fortunes, Henry couldn't follow up his high profile win yesterday but Phoenix anihilated the second seed (and vvery good effort from Luca agains the top seed):

Henry Searle LOST to (8) Roy Horovitz (USA) 6-2 0-6 6-2


All three are into the dubs semis too

Been a strange old week for British tennis - a rare one with v little to cheer about.

At least there are around 46 weeks to go in 2023 and most arent this way!

 you're correct of course, DF, I think I wasn't aiming so much at these guys as generally just commenting that it hadn't been a good week in reaction to the sad times post above...

 

But yes, these 4 deserve a round of applause for reaching the final here.

Phoenix lost to the eventual winner. Iva Jovic won the girls event, as she did in San Jose last week
