Anything can happen in challengers surely, but I'd always take Berrer in that field, though he has a very tough opener with Huta-Galung. Very very quick low bouncing courts in Bath, didn't Tsonga win this 5 years ago
 .Where's Dan Evans  , I'd have liked him in a home event on such courts in such a field, not that I'd bet on this myself. |

By:
Dustin served 71 aces in 4 matches last week in Sarajevo...didn't drop serve once...lost to the eventual winner Hernych. He'll give you a good run for your money though 16/1 is a bit skinny...An outsider Peter Torebko...he's just won a futures event in Bath...not sure if it was on the same courts.

Berrer got knocked out in Sarajevo last week first round by a mug, was seething
Mertl and Hernych made the final today and are big prices here I guess |
|
By:
The courts aren't so fast for indoor hard. The surface is quite abrasive and balls don't seem to travel through the air as quickly there.
|
|
By:
Well I've played on them numerous times and thought they were very fast, compared to other indoor hard courts. Mainly because they've been down a longer than most and not been resurfaced as far as I can remember, so naturally they get quicker and quicker. Lower bouncing than most too.

Brands
|
|
By:
I've not played there for about 3 years now, but they were slow compared to Queens/Lougborough indoor hard. Balls seem to travel slower through the air too (maybe air is cooler?). They are defo acrylic courts, but don't think they are plexicushion/rebound ace.
There have been a number of futures tournaments there - might be worth looking to see who did well in them. |

Dan Evans is in Miami JSimpson.

Liam Broady turned down a Miami qualies WC for this
 |
|
By:
Why was he offered a wildcard?
|
|
By:
who knows but apparently he was...
from The Times earlier this week "It helps to have friends in influential places. Liam and Naomi Broady, the brother-and-sister pair trying to climb the ranking ladder, have been granted a shove in the right direction, with the awarding of wild cards into a five-star tournament in the United States. Liam, 18, may only be ranked No 26 in Britain, but he has been invited into the qualifying tournament for the Sony Ericsson Open, that starts in Miami next week. The same is true for big sister Naomi, 21, the fifth-ranked British player at No 192 in the world. These are great opportunities to gain experience and possibly take a shot at a star in the main draw." |
|
By:
He's probably represented by IMG, which more or less runs the Miami tournament. IMG/Bollettieri players usually get a few main draw and qualie wild cards there over players that the general public might consider more deserving.

This is being streamed too if anyone is interested

Umpire saw that a serve went long but didn't overrule it
 |
|
By:
I saw a similar thing on a clay challenger, serve a good 5 inches long, both players thought it was long, ball mark showed it was long but chair umpire refused to overrule it. Tournament referee was called and told the player it was up to the chair umpire whether to look at the mark.
|
|
By:
Mertens should now win here, he was the much better player before he went walkies and then had a strop in the 1st
|
|
By:
Oswald seems a nice price, Navarro is a clay mug
|
|
By:
Navvaro is just a MUG...
|
|
By:
Ivan Navarro Pastor. How can you call him a mug jimmy? You obviously dont remember his epic 5 setter with karlovic at the uso a few years back.
|
|
By:
I only remember a 3 setter...
 |
|
By:
ah yes your right, the five setter was next.. and he lost.
|
|
By:
Navarro is one of very few players who have never retired in a match...
|
|
By:
I always liked watching him play, crazy style.
|
|
By:
Yeah...very un Spanish like
|
|
By:
gave murray the run around at queens for a set aswell, was funny viewing. Murray looking in disbelief at ivan's mint volleys behind monster balls out second serves
|
|
By:
wtf happened to Copil
|
|
By:
Hernych once got to an ATP tour final
beat Djokovic on the way |
|
By:
big serbia fix in Bath
Lajovic 5-3 -> 5-7 |
|

This girl commentating loves to over pronounce every word she says.
|
|
By:
pretty much most of the British players on Twitter have said how bad she is commentating
 Baker has the 3rd win for a Brit on challenger tour all year, his 2 this week and Alex Bogdanovic a while back |

By:
Berrer, Michael 5/1
Grigelis, Laurynas 12/1 Brown, Dustin 16/1 Jouan, Romain 22/1 Mertens, Yannick 40/1 Mertl, Jan 40/1 Baker, Jamie 80/1 remaining players |

Nice call sir, thats why youre one of the few who stand the test of time on here! I had a few quid on him to beat Beck on Thursday but none on the outright.

(Basically because any trace of outright betting seemed to disappear after the opening matches).
