L16: (5) Jan-Lennard Struff (GER) WR 41 defeated (Q) Liam Broady WR 152 by 4 & 2

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Enjoyed watching a bit of Dan and Fed Coria taking the first set in the dubs, 6-4

Broke instantly and then just held serve

Struff is a much more experienced player at this level and on clay, just a free hit really for Liam and at least another decent week for him. Live rankings suggest he should rise around 5 spots to 147, one or two behind him are in Split Challenger still so he may fall a spot but certainly should move top 150 and a new CH to boot.

It is quite tight around Dan in the doubles rankings, a first round win today with Coria could see him rise to 81st from his current position. Still GB #8 but with this week, Monte Carlo and Barcelona all to come, as far as we can see from the entries, Dan could make quite a lot of headway in the doubles ranks.

Well, that will do Coria's ranking a lot of good

Good fun to see Dan jumping around the place, taking balls that weren't for him, then not moving thinking it's not his, and then laughing

And good to see Lloyd and Harri will be back together again soon after this enforced absence !

I think Dan playing doubles seems to be doing him a lot of good, hopefully capture some of his rhythm after a poor few weeks post his tournie win down in Oz.

I guess they will play the Belgrade challenger together next week.

Another good week for Liam with 32 ranking points earned equivalent to a challenger semi-final.

Looking ahead at his upcoming schedule
www.dartsrankings.com/tennis/schedules/liam-broady

He is playing Belgrade challenger next week, currently in qualifying although might sneak into the main draw. Main draw entry has been made harder by those that were in the cancelled Santa Cruz challenger jumping onto the alts list.

Then he is on the alts list for Barcelona and Belgrade ATP qualifying at #22 and #27.

Again entered for ATP events in Estoril and Munich. Although qualifying lists not out yet for that week. Not sure if they are due this week or next. If next week then the added ranking boost might help.

Although he could end up with no events for two weeks if he does not make the qualifying list either week.

This could be over pretty quickly Dan 0-4* down already.

I'm not watching today. Just checking the score. If I was I would probably watch through Bet365. Not ideal but does the job without paying for tennis tv.

I'm keeping an eye on sofascore. 1-6 6-1 *0-1
