There was a shock on day one of
Qualifying when men's top seed Dustin Brown suffered a
disappointing 46 26 defeat to Bosnia’s Damir Dzumhur. Brown
who have had a good lead up to this tournament by reaching the
quarter-finals in Qatar last week only produced 52% of first serves
in as well as only taking 2/7 break points. It just wasn't to be his
day today. Other seeds to go include 11th seed Marc
Gicquel who after a good frist set faded
away to a 67 61 61 defeat to Jan Hernaych.
Diego
Sebastian was
another who lost in a close three setter against Chinas
Ze
Zhang.
The most prominant fact from this match is despite Zhang's win (36 75
64) he still produced 70 unforced errors compared to the Argentinian
with just 37. There was however better
news for britain with Dans Evans
easily into the next round with a 61 62 win over Huang Liang-Chi.
Some other winners (so far) include Pere
Riba (9), Denis Kudla (4) and
Peter Polansky. There
is still matches going on now and can be watch live on the following
