Week 34 - Canada F8 ($15,000) - Winnipeg (Hard)
Permalink  

Liam draws the player who has just won the Calgary title today and Josh gets the former top 250 player who beat him in R1 in Calgary. You could ask what's the point of being seeded if you get R1 draws like that?

L32: Luke Bambridge WR 515 v Qualifier
L32: (4) Liam Broady WR 353 v Daniel Nguyen (USA) WR 480 (CH 418 in 2013)
L32: (6) Josh Milton WR 397 v Philip Bester (CAN) WR 602 (CH 229 in 2011) *
L32: Ashley Hewitt WR 471 v Alexander Sarkissian (USA) WR 681 (= CH)
L32: Scott Clayton WR 1183 v Qualifier

* H2H 0-1, 5 & 2, R1 in Calgary this/last week

Rather unlucky draws but there's no time for any of them to be upset or frustrated at the draw. Hewitt beat Nguyen back in June - Liam should look to do the same - and Josh has a good opportunity to get some revenge for last week.

True, though Ashley's win against Nguyen was on clay, and you'd hope Nguyen and Bester would look at them as tough draws from their point of view too.

You're right on both counts, of course! All I mean is that I hope that these draws don't affect either player in any way other than a passing negative, or hopefully, a positive way.

Let's be having a good GB end to this North American swing, particularly for Liam and Luke, who have been out there for a couple of months.

Liam and Luke have moved up the rankings a bit, but I am sure that they were both hoping to do a fair bit better.

Rotten draw for Scott in the doubles:

R1:  Scott Clayton & Dennis Uspensky (USA) CR 1715 vs Freddie Nielsen & Mark Oljaca (DEN/USA) UNR

Freddie's current doubles ranking is 89, while Oljaca has a CH of 1079 from May 2011.

Qualifiers placed:

L32: Luke Bambridge WR 515 v (Q) Shane Nicholls (CAN) UNR
L32: (4) Liam Broady WR 346 v Daniel Nguyen (USA) WR 474 (CH 418 in 2013)
L32: (6) Josh Milton WR 400 v Philip Bester (CAN) WR 604 (CH 229 in 2011) - H2H 0-1 (see first post)
L32: Ashley Hewitt WR 467 v Alexander Sarkissian (USA) WR 680 (= CH)
L32: Scott Clayton WR 1180 v (Q) Matt Seeberger (USA) WR 1663 (CH 1573 in Jan)

Seeberger is 30, has never been in the top 1500 and is apparently coached by Rik de Voest.

Sarkissian is underranked - was a top university player, relatively short time on the tour. The usual.

Ash got one of the breaks back, but still lost the first set 6-3

Fair dos, I'm more considerate of decent opposition rather than - oh dear, it's a hard court. Ashley has achieved plenty results at various times on hard courts anyway.

C'mon, Ashley.

Ash stormed back to take the 2nd set 6-1. Into the decider they go.
