Very interesting result for him, giving him most likely the necessary points for another AO main draw presence and more confidence for next year. He had a very interesting end of season and if he continues to play like that in 2008, I can see him again returning to a secure position in the Top 100!

R1: def Cecil Mamiit 6:2 6:1

Congrats to Rainer! Too bad he had to beat Mayer

quite a shitty entry list for a 150k challenger it was

Too many challengers this week + challenger outside of Europe = weak entry list

Schittler was the worst top 10 player ever.

btw, Rainer at #99 in the latest rankings, which means a direct entry for the AO

 

[MisterQ]

He played so well in 2003... nice to see some positive results again, even if on a smaller scale.
