Boys: Vasteras International - ITF Grade 4 - 2007.
Permalink  

Begins on 7th January. It's played on indoor hard.

Tom Knights, Neil Pauffley, Simon Baker, Matthew James and Dominic Hodgson in the main draw.
Dan Smethurst, James Chaudry, Edward Jones and Scott Sears in the qualies draw.
Oliver Evans is in the alts.

Smethurst needs seven withdrawals for a main draw place and there are two SE spots. So we can hope that he will get in.

Three more withdrawals needed with two SE spots, and the qualies draw won't be out till the 4th. He is as good as in now.

Good news for Dan. Let's hope he can take advantage and win a few matches.

Shame these two have to meet so early. Assume you expect Smethurst to win this Arka?

I guess; but that's based on the fact that Smethurst has the better results of the two.

That may not be the case always. Nadal defeats Federer, Malisse defeats Nadal etc.
I know nothing about the gamestyles of either of these two boys except that Pauflley has a massive serve.

Just what I was telliing... Pauffley won in straights.

Dominic Hodgson upset eighth seed Mark Bowtell of Ireland in three sets. Ed Jones beat the eleventh seed but Matthew James lost to twelfth seed.

Pauffley and Knights are through to the quarters.

Pauffley (285) plays Dusan Lajovic (627) of Serbia & Montenegro for a place in the semis.
Knights (304) plays Marin Draganja (388) of Croatia for a place in the semis. Draganja beat him last week.

Pauffley/Smethurst and Knights/James are through to the doubles semis.

Pauffley will be ranked comfortably inside the top 250 when the tables are updated. Since he is still alive in both disciplines, it can always go higher.

Knights won 7-5 6-7(6) 6-3.
Pauffley won 3-6 6-2 7-5.

Pauffley (285) plays Dusan Lajovic (206) of Sweden for a place in the finals.
Knights (304) plays Rasmus Jonasson (122) of Sweden for a place in the finals.

Extremely difficult match for Knights against top seed Jonasson, who got the title at Salk last week.

Here's hoping for two upsets.

Knights/James lost in the semis to the top seeds.

Pauffley/Smethurst are through to the finals after they defeated the second seeds.

What a week this is turning out to be for Pauffley! He'll be ranked around 230 now and it can get better if he wins tomorrow.
