Week 46 - ATP Challenger 75 - Danderyd, Sweden (indoor hard)

Madadman · Masters Series Champion

Jan and Arthur should be in the Main draw and Billy in the qualifying. Billy was 2nd Alt for the main draw at yesterday deadline and currently due to be 1st Q seed. So might get lucky and go straight to the main draw.

One of 3 Byes in the first round of the Doubles. Youd think some players would sign in. 250 to lose in the first round.

Josh Paris + are also in the draw.

QR1: (q1) Billy Harris WR 221 defeated (qWC) Henrik Bladelius (SWE) UNR by 6-1 7-6(4)

Likely to be the Belgian Wunderkind, Blockx, who wreaked so much havoc in the recent UK M25s, in the FQR. That'll give Billy something to think about!

And Blockx it is:

FQR: (q1) Billy Harris WR 221 vs (q12) Alexander Blockx (BEL) WR 475 (= CH; +105)

Billy in a really tight game. Lost the first set on a breaker but just took the second also in a breaker.

Come on Billy lad

That's a real shame but Blockx seems like a rising star so not a huge surprise. Billy is current 200 in the live rankings but I don't expect that to survive the week.

At least Billy can perhaps have a few days off before heading down to Malaga as Davis Cup hitting partner.

Yes the only player Blockx has lost to the in the last 3 months is ATP 50 ranked Hanfmann so Blockx is probably on another level going forward. The fact Billy matched him shows his level is certainly top 200 as well where Blockx will be heading and higher I suspect.
