QR1:  (ALT) Patrick Brady WR 820 defeated (q4) Jaimee Floyd Angele (FRA) WR 615 by 3 & 4 

Patrick qualifies:

FQR:  (ALT) Patrick Brady WR 816 defeated Collin Altamirano (USA) WR 921 by 3 & 2

Patrick gets the win 6-2 6-2. A rare win at this level today for a GB player.

L32:  (Q) Patrick Brady WR 816 defeated Lucas Gerch (GER) WR 426 by 3 & 2   

I know nothing about his previous background but from what I can see, Patricks approach seems to be very different from that of his similar ranked colleagues.

Since last September he has entered 11 tournaments of which 7 have been challengers at various levels. In all of the challengers he has been in qualifying (as an Alt mainly) and has picked up points in 6 of them.

As far as I can see this is his first main draw win.

Most guys ranked in the 800s are aiming mainly at ITF25/15 so this is quite unusual (or am I reading too much into this) so it will be interesting to watch how he continues to progress.

 I guess the advantage of sticking to Challenger level if he can, is the Hotels are complimentary as far as I understand. Even if you get knocked out in QR1 youd get the night before and night after covered. If on the road for several weeks getting 2/7 nights a week minimum paid for must help quite a bit. 

On top if that training/hitting against higher level of players outside of matches can also only be a good thing.
