Fort i'd bring this back seeing as thats its easier then creating a topic for a challenger which is almost done anyway
Just for ti would write a little bout jamie Baker, Who promises this year to be his breakout year has started it in the rite way, by reaching the semis of the challenger event in waikoloa.
he had to come through qaulies but did that with ease
Bye in the first round
Jamie Baker GBR [2] beat Jim Thomas USA | 6-2 6-3 ( 2nd Round Qualy)
Jamie Baker GBR [2] beat Chris Wettengel USA [7] | 6-4 7-5 (2rd and Final Qualy)
The he had beaten players in the main draw ranked much higher then him!!
Baker def. Oudsema 64 63 (1st Round)
(q)Jamie Baker (GBR) d. (q)John Paul Fruttero (USA) 7-5 6-4 (2nd Round)
Jamie Baker (GBR, Q) d. Sergei Stakhovsky (UKR) 4-6 7-5 7-5
He now play Wayne Odesnik, and with the run hes having i wouldn't put him past it to make the final!!! To win he would probably have to beat Michael Russell whos going for his 3rd Challenger in a row!!!
He'll get like 30 points at t the moment for a semi-final birth, easily the most points he has ever won in a week, and this should take his ranking safely into top 300. unfortunately this run means he won't be active next week.
In other news Alex Bogdanovic will be the only British Hope in an ATP event after Mackin and Aucks lost first round qualy's this afternoon, both in three sets.
Boggo plays a qaulifier for the right to be in the same group as James Blake and Robert kendrick which is a perfect oppurtunity to get bi*ched twice in one week lol, or become a bit of a hero
.
Doubles haven't been drawn yet but i expect Jame Murray to be in Zagreb and Aucks to be in Delray beach main Doubles draw.
Bloomfield is into his first challenger final after an impressive run in Wrexham, Also has made the final of the doubles, result will soon be available once i get it on the actual topic for the challenger!!!
Lots Of Brits in future action this week, highlights being imo Morgan Phillips in Spain and Ian Flanagan in India
