2016 Aussie Watch

Sam Groth lost in the quarters of a 100k in Dallas. This sounds like an ok week but of course in normal fashion, he beats world no. 110-odd Denis Kudla in the 2nd round and then loses to world no. 270-odd guy I never heard of in straight sets.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Barton and Smith both lost (to Moriya and Klahn respectively) in the quarters of West Lakes, but Duckworth is through to the semis with a 7-5 6-1 win over Jenkins. He should really beat Ito but it's Duckworth so he'll likely lose.

Yep, if he could win this challenger, it would be a big boost into the season

Duckworth retires with an injury 3-0 down hope it's not too serious.

He got golden setted by Reister in one of the grand slam qualies that's all i know.

Oh Sam....

Him and Gooch have made the doubles final so I'd say that means no qualies in Memphis for Sam

Gee Groth only has the serve, not enough parts to his game, its just hit and miss with him.........

 

[Chris_2593]

I watched Duckworths quarterfinal match and he tape all the way up his arm so im guessing that has something to do with it.

 

[matt_897]

Guccione/Groth won their dubs final in Dallas. Handy bunch of points and might help Groth to play a few more doubles atp events. He is actually playing with Mirnyi in Memphis and they are seeded 4th.

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Rogowska won an ITF event which puts her closer to the top 100 mark.

 

[speedybundy]

Nick Kyrgios playing in Memphis I think it is tomorrow, playing Smyczek.

Matsoevic seeded 5 there also

 

[Crows_United_FC]

Matosevic and Kyrgios both lost their 1st round games in Memphis.

Matosevic lost 6-3,6-2
Kyrgios lost 6-7 (5-7), 6-4, 6-3

Jason Kubler formally the number 1 junior is up to 368 in the world and is in the semis of a futures in spain. Hopefully he can continue this rise and play some challengers later in the year.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a while.

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a while.

He's been playing mostly on clay due to his knee issues. http://acelandtennis.com.au/news/414-clay-is-a-natural-but-necessary-home-for-kubler.html

 

[Chris_2593]

Hes been on fire in Spain. His last 3 weeks have been a final followed by the tittle and now he is in the semis.

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Should be around 350 after losing in the final.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Reid lost to Richard Becker. Terrible.

 

[Back Pocket Rocket]

Luke Saville has had a fair 3 weeks. Runner Up at Happy Valley, won Port Pirie and won Mildura. Ranking will go from 460 to in the top 300 in these 3 weeks.

Lost in 3 sets to 167th ranked Clezar so not too bad, hopefully he builds on this.
Groth into the Quarter Finals of Rimouski and will probably play Andreas Beck.

 

[matt_897]

Groth ended up winning that challenger in canada. About time he won one because that's a great way of getting points (and cash). Up to around 150 now.

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Kubler beat Dutra Silva in a challenger, which should get him close to 300, he plays Falla next though. Groth won his first round against Ramirez Hidalgo . Ebden lost to a mexican wildcard

 

[matt_897]

That Ebden loss..

Grothy wasted a huge chance too losing to a 300-odd ranked Zimbabwean

Kubler withdrew from his match, not sure why
