Max qualifies - eventually:

FQR: (qWC) Max Basing WR 663 defeated Ozan Baris (USA) WR 757 by 7-6(5) 6-7(2) 6-3 smile

He first served for it at 5-3 in the second set, then went a break down early in the decider.

Thought he was going to regret not taking that opportunity in the 2nd when he went an early break down in the 3rd but Ozan started to cramp up I think and didnt look that comfortable. Max did have the trainer on after the 1st set for his shoulder I think.
1st go at challenger qualies now a 1st go at a challenger main draw.

Well done, Max, hope he gives main draw a good go!

Hadnt appreciated Jack PJ is a year younger than Max, 21 v 22.

Jeez, it's a US College takeover.

Is there anyone here that isn't at US College? Or is it a summer camp for current (and just departed) US College players? Those are impressive wins for Max over the 1st and 5th ranked college players, though Baris has had a bit of a mare couple of weeks.

Yay, Max

And now a very interesting MD match and onto at least R2 for one of our guys.

Not sure if theyve played at collegiate or other events but having looked at the ITF, ITF Junior and the LTA results site. The last I can see they faced each other was U10s. JPJ had a 2-1 record over Max at U10s.
