2016 Aussie Watch

[TooUglyForFugly]

Saville and Matt Reid against each other at the Shenzhen, Ebden at the BRD Nastase, Matosevic at Barcelona.

Decent amount of stuff to follow tomorrow.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Nick finishes off with a straight sets victory. Well done to him.

 

[matt_897]

Duckworth had match points but lost. Amazing week for both and both playing again this week too

 

[Chris_2593]

Congrats to both that puts Nick up to 170 still off his carrer high of 157.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Matosevic beat higher-ranked Sousa which is something at least.

 

[matt_897]

A bit of fun in Savannah challenger, Kokkansis comes in and qualifies and draws Kyrgios. Winner most likely plays Donald Young.

Kubler won his first rounder there too.

Groth just lost his first rounder in a Chinese challenger to a qualifier ranked 450. That is what I call terrible.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Trust the Aussies to lose to no namers.

Started with Hewitt losing to Karlovic (at the time) in the first round of a slam when he was #1 ...

Upsets happen all around, nature of sport.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

It just irritates me when it's us I guess.

Kyrgios wins the battle of the K's quite convincingly.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Young lost to some Japanese qualifier I've never heard of too so a big chance for Nick.

 

[Chris_2593]

Disappointing result for James Duckworth losing his first round against Kimmer Coppejans 6-4 3-6 6-4 in the first round of Santos. Arina Rodioniva won her first round in 50K tournament in Seoul when her oppenent retired at the score 5-4. Jarka And Sanders also are there and play qualifiers.

 

[matt_897]

Not too surprised at Ducky result, had a big week last week.

Kyrgios draw has opened up, let's see if he can back up last week. That scored against Kokkansis says yes

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Matt Reid loses in doubles but win in singles. That'll do.

Falls in the quarters. Nick safely past round 2.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Groth and Gooch have made a doubles final and Nick has just made the semis, since I last posted.

 

[matt_897]

Watched a bit of Nick's match. He was on another level really

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

The Double G's won that final in straight sets. Good combo.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Interesting combo. Their team name should be "All Brawn No Brains."

 

[matt_897]

They seem to clean up those challengers, think that's the 3rd they have won this year.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Nick wins that semi, off to the final.

 

[matt_897]

A match with Jack Sock awaits, should be fun to see.

After these two weeks, I think they have to give the WC to Nick

 

[Chris_2593]

Great effort by Nick. Sock will be tough but winnable match.

 

[Chris_2593]

A ton of Aussies in action this week on the challenger and future circuit. Not sure how many people who would know/remember Ashling Sumner but she made a final in a 10K tournament in Thailand last week. Pretty good effort she looked to have a bright future but then turned to crap like a lot of the Aussies females do.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Little Nicky! :dances:

Took three sets but another title to his name.

 

[Chris_2593]

Congrats Nick! Be intresting to see if he plays this weeks after winning 2 in a row.
