Re: Ivory Coast F1 [March 03 - Abidjan - Hard] Main Draw

Matwé back in Africa :haha:

I guess he found the higher level too tough, or he is just looking for some more easy ranking points. He tried to qualify for ATP tournaments, maybe he should have been more patient and try to get a result in some weaker challengers which his ranking allowed. I don't even expect him to repeat his successes in Africa now.

Generally players who go on a winning streak in African futures don't do too well against better competition afterwards, remember Vejmelka.

Blandin for three in a row ? Since when did it happen ?

I don't know, but I think it's not that difficult, take a look at the "player of the month" at ITF Mens homepage and you'll probably find - if it happened in the last 2 years.
Anyway, very impressive from Blandin
