Hopefully Bladetiger is back watching about now and the scores will start to come in again!

Bladetiger has keeled over after getting double bagelled by his son.

Ok, only joking (hopefully) but I wonder what's happened to him ...

TOURTE - delgado 75 64

Sheddie · administrator

Grrrr, Jamie had plenty of chances in that match, was a break up in both sets. However, I suppose he did well, considering the amazing form Tourte has been in this year.

Thanks for the info on the Marray match, sounds like a really good performance from Jonny, was just a little unlucky with the draw. I think he goes to Aachen now, to play qualies at the weekend

So....Bloomers and Mackin through so far but Delgado, Lee, Marray and Hewitt are out. Hutchins, Goodall and Boggo still to play.

Sheddie · administrator

The Goodall match has just started.

Hutchins either lost the 1st set or won it on a breaker v Vacek. 3-3 in the 2nd

johnnylad · Tennis legend

Hutch and Josh are on court now...

Bladetiger is back on I think!

I'll leave someone to copy and paste from GRMB or MTF again from now on.

ok!

Sheddie · administrator

It's promising that Vagnozzi took Mertl to 3 sets as Vagnozzi is basically an out an out clay-courter. If he can push Mertl close than Richard should have a very good chance.

I've read that Vacek has an absolutely massive serve so Ross is doing really well. Unfortunately, Ross' chances in a tiebreak don't look good but you never know. Boggo played Vacek in Belgrade in 2005 and they had a mammoth match which Alex won 7-5 in the 3rd I believe.

Vacek (CZE) beat (WC) Hutchins (GBR) v 4-6(?) 6-7(7)

steven · Tennis legend

Ross went 1-5 down in the 2nd set t/b, got it back to 4-5, then saved 2 MPs at 4-6 before going set point up at 7-6, saved by Vacek with an ace. Vacek then went 8-7 up to get another MP, Ross served what looked like an ace but was eventually called a fault and then Vacek hit a winning return off his 2nd serve. :(

Sheddie · administrator

Great fight from Ross though

He must be back in form now, hopefully some good wins over the next month can see him back into the singles top 600 and maybe get him close to the doubles top 150

Sounds like Vacek will give Mackin a really tough match.

Goodall leads 4-3 on serve against Stoppini

Go Boggo !!!!!
