L16: (1) Aziz Dougaz (TUN) WR 376 (CH = 356 last March) vs (SE) Stuart Parker WR 627
Stuart beat the Tunisian in the first round last week & in the quarters a month ago, not to mention at this venue last October & a couple of times in the UTR Pro Series in France last summer. Let's hope he can maintain that sterling record.
Looks like Dougaz was injured. He has retired at 3-3.
He probably thought, 'here we go again, can't be bothered to sweat out three sets again, just to end up losing, might as well hit the clubhouse now and enjoy the rest of the day'
The tournie organisers in these events should really just put Stuart and Dougaz together each week and then pencil Stuart in for the next round, save a lot of effort

While Stuart got through a match in 42 minutes due to a retirement the Italian had a 3hour 18 mins 3 setter against Colin Sinclair. Hopefully this plays into Stuarts hands.
