Brit of the Week
Patrick Brady entered the ATP challenger qualifying event in Mexico. The Brit was eleventh seed in qualifying and made the main draw, dropping only one set. In the first round Brady drew Santiago Ledesma. The Mexican wild card was no match for the Brit. Brady dominated from the outset. The first set saw Ledesma hold serve twice, as the Brit broke easily to take the lead. The second set was even better from Brady. The Brit dominated once again, barely putting a foot wrong. Brady eased through into the next round in straight sets 6-2, 6-1.
In the second round Brady was against Strong Kirchheimer. The American had also been in qualifying, where the Brit had beaten him in the second round. The American then secured a lucky loser spot and made it to the second round. Just like in the qualifying round, the American got off to the better start. Kirchheimer broke and took the first set. However, Brady re-grouped and dominated the second set. The Brit broke at will as the American struggled to stay with him. The final set was close and looked to be heading to a tiebreak. However, Brady managed to break serve right at the end of the set to take the match and book a spot in the next round 4-6, 6-1, 7-5.
The quarter-final saw Brady against Dimitar Kuzmanov. The Bulgarian dominated the Brit from the outset. No matter what the Brit tried Kuzmanov was equal to it. Brady tried to fight hard, but the Bulgarian eased through the first set. The second was more of the same, although Brady did hold serve twice. Eventually, Kuzmanov took the match to move into the next round 6-1, 6-2.
