I went to the Playford Challenger today here in the Northern suburbs of Adelaide. Final round qualifying today.
Matosevic, Banes and Kubler were the Australians to win through to the main draw.
Marinko was all over the place as usual but O'Connell fell apart in the second set. Banes lacks the big game but had a good win over Korda (son if Petr).
Purcell and Saville won the doubles. Saville carried Purcell a bit I thought.
Kubler really impresses me, he can be top 100 if his knee holds up. I'd give him a main draw wildcard at the Australiam Open if it was up to me.
O'Connell had a win at the AO last year didn't he? Hopefully he can find some form soon.
Damn you.Popyrin wins. Huge.
Popyrin wins. Huge.
He wins and qualifies.Solid qualifying win by Aleksander Vukic (21yo, back half of 400s) over a 70s ranked Lajovic. Berankis awaits in the final qualifying round for Sydney.
Beats Mahut to follow Vukic.Popyrin wins. Huge.
That's interesting you mention that about Kokkinakis, I remember when he first came onto the scene with Kyrgios the media was saying Kokkinakis has it in terms of desperation whereas Kyrgios won't have that desire despite looking better.Just got back four days at the AO.
I wish we could have some interviews with Australians without them talking about Davis Cup. I think Hewitt is over doing it and it is a distraction for a few of the guys.
Thompson is going to have to spend a fair amount of time on the Challenger circut this year.
Kokkinakis worries me still, not sure he wants it that badly. I think he likes playing exhibitions and spending time on jet ski's as opposed to grinding it out on court.
Kubler played well as we expected. I hope he has a big year. Both he and Bolt have the game to make the top 100 if they have some luck.
Ebden is back to playing some of his best tennis. He won't make the top 50 but can hopefully stay in the top 100.
