Richard lost - Dont know the score - there was a language problem.

So another seed bites the dust!

Really disappointing result and very surprising given that this tournament is indoors

However, maybe Richard was still struggling with jetlag, he can't have had much time to get used to the different courts and balls given that he would have only left for Canada on Friday night.

So in challenger singles this week, it's Boggo or bust as steven would say !

He flew out Saturday night - I presume Pless would have been on the same flight.

Richard and Scherrer play Luis Manrique and Jean-Julien Rojer in today's quarters

Bloomfield/Scherrer bt Manrique/Rojer 63 75!

Semis: They face Pless / Nielsen

johnnylad · Tennis legend

The match is 4th on court today.

Scherrer and Pless are still in singles.

Scherrer plays match one and Pless plays match two, then there's a rest before this match.

Hopefully Pless doesn't recover as well as SCherrer and Bloomers makes it to the final

Great video from last night's matches, even able to see the full flight of the ball.

The commentary is in French and the first match I watched was difficult to follow the score but later they zoomed into the scoreboard after each game. The two commentators even give in between game summaries, just a pity that I don't speak French!

In fact I was so impressed that I have sent a congratulatory e-mail to them, fantastic resource for a $25k Challenger event.

I fancied them for the title here.

Richard moves to Nashville where he has scraped into the main draw
