QF: (1) Giles Hussey WR 392 defeated (5) Alex Knaff (LUX) WR 504 by 6-0 7-6(3)
SF: Stuart Parker WR 676 vs Moerani Bouzige (AUS) WR 621 (CH = 604 in October 2022)
SF: (1) Giles Hussey WR 392 vs Lukas Pokorny (SVK) WR 684 (CH = 568 last November)
Pokorny has just beaten the Russian fourth seed, Karlovskiy, in three sets. Giles beat him in three in last week's final (0-6 6-4 6-4), when he was the sixth seed.
I presume that that will mean a walkover for Istomin & Karlovskiy in the doubles final.
SF: Stuart Parker WR 676 defeated Moerani Bouzige (AUS) WR 621 by 4 & 5
Every time I've clapped eyes on Bouzige's name, I've been reminded of the Moeraki boulders located on a beach just north of Dunedin in the east coast of South Island, New Zealand which I visited a good few years ago. He has an interesting heritage: Tahitian mother & French father.
*****
Final: Lukas Pokorny (SVK) WR 684 vs Stuart Parker WR 676
Well done to Stuart on reaching the final. 18 months since he won the Challenger title in Thailand, and his 3 titles prior to that all in Monastir - happy hunting ground?
