Absolutely fantastic win for Bloomers yesterday over Meffert

This win will take him up 11 places to approx 215. Apparently Bloomers says that his serve is on fire and his success this week is all down to getting pumped pre-match by the tunes of Linkin Park and Prodigy. His aim is to win the tourney to get back inside the top 200.

Olivier Patience is the 2nd seed, he's ranked 103 and peaked at 87 in 2004. He's had straight sets wins over Uros Vico and Adrian Mannerino so far. This year, all his success has been on clay, winning 3 challengers and making two more semis. They've played once before, Patience won 6-3, 6-3 in rd1 of a futures on clay in 2001.

Summerer serving for the match

Summerer has won 6-4, 6-3 so Bloomers up next. Lets hope that the scoreboard doesn't jam again !

Can anyone view the whole scoreboard. My browser opens a fixed window size and the next match is off screen to the bottom. How frustrating!

Edit: Jib that - they've refreshed it now!
