Alex ended up losing his second round match to a brit ranked around about 50 in the world i think the score was 7-5 4-6 7-6, so very close match, there is only one aussie left in the draw and thats Luke Saville hope he goes onto win it.
Yesterday Alex played first round at the junior open. He played Bruno Sant'anna who is the ninth seed. Alex lost 6-1 3-6 8-10. So just lost bad luck, hope he plays all the GS this year, espically because this will be his last year to play juniors because he will turn 19 straight after the new year.
Lets get this thread going again. Alex is playing a Futures in Serbia this week where he beat Adrian Partl 6-3 6-1 in the first round. Hope he can reach the QF's here to boost his ranking.
Not sure of his credentials for the AIS selection but he is active at the moment in Europe touring with the other AIS players. He has qulaified for a Futures tournament in Serbia this week and won his first round match yesterday, which is good.
ATP ranking currently 1175, so must be somebody's favourite to be in the AIS.
Anyone else know more?
Bolt doing well on the clay in Italy as a qualifier. He is through to the QF's beating world number 456 Marc Rath 6-3 6-4. Then beating local and world number 349 6-4 3-6 6-4. He will have step it up next against Phillip Oswald who is ranked 237 and only lost 6 games in 2 matches.
He just won a 10k future in Hong Kong after defeating Victor Baluda 6-3 7-5 in the final. Along the way he also defeated Duckworth and Berman in straight sets. After his final in Hong Kong last week and the win this week he should now end the year inside the top 400. He is still entered to play next week's future in Hong Kong.
well done to Alex. I just wonder what the story is or whether, he like James Duckworth and John Millman he actually elected not to play the play off. At any rate a great victory.
Alex is still on fire in Hong Kong, so far he's won 12 out of the 13 matches he's played. he beat the top seed Liang-Chi Huang (#341) in the quarters this week and plays the 6th seed Ji Sung Nam for a place in his third final in a row!
Real unfortunate loss for Alex 7-6 5-7 3-6. Not sure stats wise since the match just finished and can't find it in completed matches part of the new live scores.
