Went down 6-4 in the third. Still, an excellent effort from Ben and I hope he can have another strong season this year. He seems to be coming along nicely.
Ben has showed some good score lines against Polansky and Kavcic, can't wait till the aussie challengers and futures i think Ben will bring out his A game and really beat some quality players good luck where ever you play next, does anyone know if he is playing the junior open.
Good stuff by Ben against a top player, but one who is really a clay court player. Kavcic won the majority of his matches on clay last year. Will be watching more of Ben next year, who now enters the senior ranks along with Tomic.
Ben is playing the qualifiers for Burnie, and won his first match fairly easily. It looks like he could make the main draw of Burnie, but the seeds could cause him a problem.
Shame Ben couldn't get a win over the ATP summer. Taking sets off Kavcic and Polansky must boost his confidence though.
Ben's Q section...
[3] Joseph SIRIANNI (AUS) vs [WC] Ben WAGLAND (AUS)
Patrick DAVIDSON (USA) vs Nima ROSHAN (AUS) Jose (Rubin) STATHAM (NZL) vs Benjamin MITCHELL (AUS)
Marcus DANIELL (NZL) vs [6] Rameez JUNAID (AUS)
Ben get's an awesome draw at Burnie, first round vs Ivo Klec, which he should be able to win routinely, then followed up by either Rosol or Chvojka, which again I would imagine he'd win if he stays on form. After that would probably be Tomic, which will be a match to watch.
Great effort from Benny to get the win today, Chvojka up next will be tough but if Benny can get over the line he'll move very close to the top 500 and really set himself up for the year. Seedings at most futures and perhaps even direct entry into some challengers if Ben can keep winning here. I hope for Australian tennis' sake that both Ben and Bernard do well this week and next week.
Benny beat Chvojka 3-6 6-1 6-4. Great effort considering he went down a break twice in the third. Next up Bernard or Ebden. Will be tough and Ben will most likely lose. Either way it has been a great week for Benny and hopefully he continues this form in Caloundra and gets some wins.
