Hi

Yeh, that may be true, he does seem to play more in spain than anywhere else. I read somewhere that he was based in the US. I guess he must of moved to spain.

Superb results for the British lads. That will give them a load of confidence.

I wonder where James Ward is??

He was on the ITF alts list on Saturday ?

He would have had to qualify and maybe he missed the sign-in deadline due to playing his quarter-final late that afternoon ?

Where did you read that he was based in the US ? I thought he was based at a club in Kent, he won their club tournament in 2005 and they did a mini-feature on him in their local paper

Are you speaking of Mr. Dee?

If yes, then he is based in the USA as far as I've read.

Good news / Bad news

Brooks bt Lopez Jaen 4-6 6-4 6-4

Viloca & Wright bt Burrieza & Nesterov 2-6 6-3 7-6(5)

Another brilliant result for Richard Brooks, his next opponent is ranked even higher. Dekel Valtzer (wr-431).

But sadly website favourite Komlavi Loglo lost to the Spanish qualifier Miguel Perez Puigdom.

I'm absolutely gutted. I suppose the Brit wins will do something to cheer me up but it's going to take a while.

That's a superb win for Brooks. He's on fire this week!

Brilliant win for Richard Brooks

Ranking-wise, that's one of the best British results of 2006, the only results which can really rival it are Daniel Cox's two shock wins in the Wrexham main draw in August.

Lol Bethan

Unfortunately, Alan Wright wasn't able to join him in rd2, he lost 6-2, 6-7[2], 6-4

A shame that he gets no points this week after such a superb qualifying win but this was a really great effort, taking a set off a player ranked over 1100 places higher

Brooks faces 7th seeded Israeli Dekel Valtzer in rd2. Valtzer is ranked 439 and beat a compatriot 7-5, 6-3 in rd1. Hopefully Richard can equal James Ward's achievements of last week !

No

How can you get no points for such a great effort against much higher ranked opposition.

I wish Alan would play the odd easy event to pick up some points becuase he is seriously under-ranked since he lost the points from last year's Donetsk Challenger.

It does seem really unfair to me, I think they should change the rules so that qualifying for a futures gives 1 ranking point as so often players do really well to qualify and then draw the top seed or the 'on form' player in the first round.
