A great chance for Ekow to qualify, facing an unranked Moroccan in the qualifying rd.

Qualifying round 3


Carboo beat Nejdi 62 64 and qualifies for the main draw. Does that mean he gets his first world ranking point?

Ekow has drawn 5th seed and SE ( so I'm guessing he did well somewhere last week!) Oleksander Negovyelov of UKR in round one.


Unranked Brit against 542 ranked Ukranian. I think we all know what's going to happen here!!

Fantastic win for Ekow in the qualifying round

2.2 is really good, it means you're a top level county player. 2.1, 1.2, 1.1 are players ranked in the world's top 1000.

Unfortunately he won't earn a ranking point unless he wins his rd1 match but he will have earnt some prize money to pay some of this week's costs.

Unfortunately I don't think he has much chance against the 5th seed who won Romania F15 last week and at 19 he's fast improving. Ekow will do well to win 4 games.

Ekow is first up on centre court tomorrow. 10AM Romanian timne which I believe is 9AM over here. Still, we probably won't hear anything til nearer 9 PM.

That's a shame but losing 3 and 4 to such an on-form player is no disgrace. I didn't expect it to be as close as that ! From this week's showing, Ekow looks like he has the potential to make the top 1000.
