Week 3: Rotterdam Open (I, CSWT 500) & Brasil Open (CI, CSWT 250)

son/hall might just have that edge

 

Fucking hell, first round losses in doubles and singles.

 

Brasil - Quarterfinals

Joshua Ritchie is through to the semis, beating number one seed Matt James in three sets, but he had a while to wait for the victory as the last set lasted for twenty games before a result was decided. Ritchie went down hard in the first, but battled back with a clean game to come through. He couldn't replicate that in the doubles though, as he and Leumas Himann lost out to the Samuels Yates and Vimes. Charlie Downes has made a u-turn in his form at this tournament, getting through in both singles and doubles, the former a surprising win over Chad Dyer. Dyer is still in with a shout in the doubles, taking a close encounter with Zohaib Ikram & Henry Daman with the aid of Marcuss Deane.
