And now my scoreboard just isn't working at all - just getting a nice looking red cross in the corner.

mjd · Challenger qualifying

Most games have gone to 30 or deuce
At 4-3 40-0 Rich held 3 BP but AM fought back to hold 4-4
Rich was broken for 4-5 then AM served out to love to take first set 4-6

My scoreboard hasnt worked since Bl@st

Bad news -
Bloomers lost 6-4 6-2

I reckon he couldnt shake off failing on those 3 break points

Shame, still encouraging that he's getting some wins

Hope he gets a better draw next time

We now have a representative in the top half of the doubles: Thierry Ascione & Josselin Ouanna have withdrawn, presumably because of the latter's injury, whatever that may be, & they have been replaced by Bloomers & the American, Scott Oudsema. Should they overcome Olivier Charroin & our old Polish friend, Dawid Olejniczak, in the first round, they will face the French pair, Mathieu Montcourt & Alexandre Sidorenko, in the QF.

I suppose I should have known better. Definitely not Bloomers' day today: he & Oudsema lost their doubles match 2-6 6-3 [7-10]. cry

So close...

* We find out tomorrow whether Delgo & Dominik will face the third seeds, Aucks & Torres, or Skups & Koning in the QF, as the latter two pairs meet on the Tourlaville court at 12.30 GMT. Impartial Brits can't really lose...! wink

And he can't quite escape his compatriots, at least not in the first round: he's drawn ERV, the seventh seed! At least he's in the opposite side of the draw to Bloomers, too.
And ERV duly "did the biz": saw him off in straight sets, 6-3 7-6(3).

For future reference, ERV is 8-0 lifetime v Brits, so he's almost as bad!

Shame to see Bloomers lose, but Mannarino is a decent player so it was probably expected - looks like he fell away a bit in the second set though.

Bloomers is getting the wins together at the moment, but just needs to start winning main draw matches - but I'm sure it will come once he gets a nice draw somewhere.

We can now; unfortunately Koning has been called up to the Netherlands Davis Cup team for their tie in Argentina and has had to withdraw. Aucks & Torres will now face the alternate team of Rohan Gajjar & Purav Raja (IND).

Whom Aucks & Torres proceeded to beat by 4 & 1! biggrin

Delgo & Meffert tackle Aucks & Torres at noon GMT tomorrow. I'm kinda hoping Aucks & Torres will run out the winners, but I certainly wouldn't write off the other pair's chances...

mjd · Challenger qualifying

Aucks vs Del doubles starting very soon - Adrian Mannarino has just beaten Scoville Jenkins 6-2 6-4 after being 6-2 *5-1

so he got broken twice serving for it then broke to win as Scooby served to lvl the set haha

mjd · Challenger qualifying

D/M break for *3-2

A/T break straight back 3-3

Just thinking about Skupski, he must be as sick as a parrot - all the expense of getting there and then not playing one match when his partner gets called to the DC !
