Didn't realise Batistone still played tennis. Does he still use a two handled racket?

 That is a name from a few years back; his brother was Dann, wasnt it? Brian , as you said, had a two headed racquet and never had to play a backhand as he swapped hands. He served lefty and then swapped over as needed to play forehands. 

I cant remember how high he reached in the rankings, the two brothers played as a pair and I think must have been top 100 at some point 

edit - reached 88 in doubles, 850 or so in singles 

Ben Jones lost in 3 sets to Tomic (but was 4-1 up in the 2nd set tie break to win - he lost 6-1 6-7(4) 1-6.

Blu Baker won in straight sets 6-3 7-5
