Good idea Chewy :yeah:

Good Luck to all our Asian players..
May they fair well in this tourney.

Aisam took out Muller(27th seed) in R1 of qualifying.
Won in two tie-break sets. :yeah:

Soeda! great fight, took out the 10th seed in 2 tie breakers. :rocker2:

So far, 3/8 thru to R2-qualifying. Suzuki's the first to fall, lost to Moodie(10th seed). :sad:

2 matches postponed:
Yeu-Tzuoo vs. Alex, To Finish 3-6 1-1 C'mon Wang! :scared:
Kei vs. Amritraj, To Finish 3-6 6-1 5-4 ...few points can decide this one :unsure:

Singles - Main draw:
1st round

Dominik Hrbaty SVK vs. Hyung-Taik Lee KOR
Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo ESP vs. Guillermo Canas ARG (14)

Juan Ignacio Chela ARG (20) vs. Michael McClune USA
Danai Udomchoke THA vs. Wayne Odesnik USA

Danai has an easier 1st round match compare to Lee. I don't know much about Odesnik except his ranking. While Hrbaty has achieved quite alot on the ATP, and he has lots of good results on Hard courts.

Kei !! Awesome win there. Keep it up, Bjorn is tough!
I'm so sad Bjorn has to play Kei, though, I love them both. Bjorn is older, though, he probably needs the win more, but I don't know who to support. :sad:

Odesnik has a big serve, so Danai will be under pressure, methinks.

Wang...http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/sad043.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)

No doubt I want to see Kei thru, but I don't like the odds. I think Phau will probably win.

We have 5/8 thru to R2 of qualifying, its not too bad. But Bopanna has lost in R2, i'll update that later.

Good news is Aisam won his R2 match!

Wang...http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/sad043.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)

hey so cute!

Good idea Chewy :yeah:

Good luck to My Lu :kiss:
sorry i made mistake before, Lu needed to play the qualifying event but he chose to play in a challenger instead.

hey so cute!

Its suppose to symbolise despair and hopelessness. :p

Bopanna, Rohan (IND) lt. Pablo Cuevas (URU)[19] | 4-6 7-6(7) 5-7

Singles draw - bottom half

Soeda, Go (JPN) lt. Dominik Meffert (GER) | 3-6 3-6

Lets go Soeda! Final rd against the 6'6 German.

Go's the sole player from Asia left in the qualifying draw after Aisam retired from his match at one set all.
Very unfortunate for Aisam.

sorry i made mistake before, Lu needed to play the qualifying event but he chose to play in a challenger instead.

:lol: it is fine, i hope he wont change him mind again(china open)


Its suppose to symbolise despair and hopelessness. :p
