Week 10: Mutua Madrid Open (C, CSWT 1000) & Newport (G, CSWT 250)

& the other Laing. I think all these new signups means Northern England has the fewest players now

 

Newport - Quarterfinals

Heath Davis def by Jordan Logan 6 - 4, 3 - 6, 2 - 6
Jonny Ridd def Tom DeLonge 6 - 4, 6 - 2
Os du Toit def by Quentin Goldenhaus 2 - 6, 3 - 6
Gareth Weaver def Matt James 4 - 6, 6 - 4, 6 - 0

The top two seeds crash out here, leaving the other two with a very sizeable chance of taking this week's tournament. Davis put up a decent fight but eventually falls to general poor achiever and world #36 Jordan Logan, while du Toit is blown out of the water by his fellow countryman, debutant Quentin Goldenhaus.

 

Madrid Open - Quarterfinals

Ivan Ryabovol def Chris Warrington 7 - 6 (7 - 3), 0 - 6, 8 - 6
Zach Poole def Marcuss Deane 7 - 5, 6 - 2
Morgan Burridge def Siege Morgan 6 - 2, 7 - 6 (10 - 8)
Chad Dyer def Alex O'Driscoll 7 - 5, 6 - 2

Well it appears I may have cursed Marcuss with my comments in the last round. Sorry. Morgie/Prez semi will be quite an interesting affair though, this is the furthest either of them have gotten in a tournament this far. Same is true of Poole actually, what an unexperienced field.

 

Weirdest field ever at Madrid
