Robert Dee took just one game off a player just inside the top 1000 (well done, Drew, not sure about the 7 ads though ), but Ross Connolly beat the no. 8 seed (ranked only 4 places above him).
R1: Robert Dee WR 1532 lost to (4) Pieter Calitz (RSA) WR 990 by 0 & 1 R1: Ross Connolly WR 1158 beat (8) Kristijan Mesaros (CRO) WR 1154 by 6-3 4-6 6-3
R1: (6) Amadeus Fulford-Jones WR 1062 v (Q) Hendrik Coertzen (RSA) UNR - should be finishing about now
My prediction :
(4)Pieter Calitz (RSA) vs Robert Dee (GBR)
6-0 6-1 (takes it on his 7th Adv of the game)
So I win the $1,000,000 prize !!!!
I accept Visa, mastercard, switch, personal cheque (with valid bankers card) , inca gold coins and monopoly notes (only in non-seqencial serial numbers) !
R2: (6) Amadeus Fulford-Jones WR 1062 lost to (Q) Emmanuel Mensah (GHA) UNR by 3 & 1
R2: Ross Connolly WR 1158 beat Troy Gillham (AUS) WR 1325 by 6-1 2-6 6-1
Yet another loss to a lower-ranked player for AFJ, though at least he got a point this week. An excellent win for Ross though, which may just about get him into the top 1000.
QF: Ross Connolly WR 1158 v (2) Bogdan-Victor Leonte (ROM) WR 599

He's been around on and off for a few years now. Never made the top 1000 yet so it'll be great for him if he can. Another good run in an African futures and he should do it. Great performance from him v Leonte.
It's a pity that Mozart isn't taking as much advantage of the weak draws.
