Not yet, I'll do that at the end of the season and when I see if I can get us a sub-forum. As far as I'm aware for this week, you were down for just doubles and not singles (understandable with nearly 30 tournaments) but I might have copied it down into my sheet incorrectly.

Valencia Open
2nd Round - Valencia, Spain (Indoor Hard)

Men's singles (Seeds - Finals - Top Half - Bottom Half)
Men's doubles (Draw)
  • Seventh seed Randy Smeltz will face top seed Daniel Páez Blanco in the Valencia Open quarter finals after surviving a scare against Italian qualifier Michael De Kinsele. It looked like smooth sailing for Smeltz as he shot to a 3-1 lead in the second set, but the gritty De Kinsele played some impressive shots to get back into the set and scored a break with a well placed drop shot that Smeltz put into the net. The second set, however, proved to be a blip on the radar for Smeltz as he came back strongly in the third and powered to victory to set up a showdown with the world No. 2. Blanco earlier continued his good start in front of his home crowd as he eased past Li Ming-Wang 6-3, 6-1.
  • Jamee Hancianu will not join Smeltz in the semi finals after he was easily beaten by Spain's Sanchez Emelio. Emelio, fresh off upsetting No. 2 seed József Boros in the first round, built on his good form to secure a 6-3, 6-3 victory. Hancianu looked to struggling with form and fitness in the second set at the end of a long season, and seemed almost relieved to get off court as Emelio surged into the quarters in just eighty minutes. There he will American Wayne Boyd who stunned fifth seed Miroslav Brdar 6-2, 6-2 and put a huge dent in the Croat's World Tour Finals chances.
  • Tomorrow will also see a rematch of the semi finals in Vienna as fourth seed Juan Moreno faces unseeded Spaniard Ion Andueza. Last week Andueza came from a set down to beat the Argentine No. 1, and looks in the better form back on home soil after Moreno was again forced to come from a set down and save match points to defeat Mark Harmel 3-6, 7-6(4), 6-3.

  • Seeded players out:
    Miroslav Brdar.
  • In the doubles draw, there was one big shock as second seeded locals Ion Andueza & Sanchez Emelio were beaten in three sets by little known Americans Donovan Burbach & Ben Turner. Andueza and Emelio both are in the quarters of the singles draw, but looked positively shocked as they were beaten here 7-6(2), 3-6, 13-11.
  • Meanwhile, top seeds Sandro Bachunelli & Hicham Hadir were forced to come from a set down to beat Romania's Răzvan Băncilă & Carol Sima 4-6, 6-4, 10-6.

  • Seeded players out:
    Ion Andueza &
    Sanchez Emelio.
Davidoff Swiss Indoors
2nd Round - Basel, Switzerland (Indoor Hard)

Men's singles (Seeds - Finals - Top Half - Bottom Half)
Men's doubles (Draw)
  • World No. 30 Jojo Mustard has produced one of the upsets of the day in Basel by defeating local favourite and eighth seed Almen Benaglio in three sets. The Indian Wells finalist was given a tough fight in the first set, but got the decisive break in the eleventh game and then served it out 7-5. But Mustard, who impressed in his first round win over Jean-Alain Depuis, was not going to go down without a fight as he stormed back into the match to take the second set 6-2 and then silenced the crowd in the third to complete an ultimately comprehensive 5-7, 6-2, 6-2 win to book a quarter final against second seed Darcy Cowan. The pair have met twice this season, with Mustard inexplicably holding a 1-0 record over the American star.
  • The match of the day was promised to be third seed Rasmus Olesen vs. Diego Hurtado and it did not disappoint in an entertaining Centre Court affair. Ultimately it was Brisbane and Stockholm champion Hurtado that got the better of the world No. 8 as he came from a set down in an aggressive fiery encounter 3-6, 6-1, 6-3. Elsewhere, fifth seed Zoltán Varga dominated the first set before being stunned by Jean-Christophe Genghini 1-6, 7-6(4), 6-2.

  • Seeded players out:
    Rasmus Olesen;
    Zoltán Varga.
  • Big names were falling in the doubles draw, and unfortunately for Rob Bowenburg & Jarkko Maxum they were among them as they were beaten in three sets by Radu Ghiţă & Pascal Schmidt. In a bizzare occurrence, both teams were bagelled in tiebreakers, but the Swiss-Romanian pair managed to come back from their disappointing second set breaker to stun the Vienna finalists 7-6(0), 6-7(0), 10-8 after finally converting their third match point.
  • Top seeds Heath Davis & Jojo Mustard had no such troubles as they waltzed past Lyon semi finalists Jean-Alain Depuis & Jean-Christophe Genghini 6-4, 6-1. They'll face an interesting second round showdown with Indian duo Ritwik Bhutia & Harpreet Gupte who were impressive in their 6-0, 7-6(4) win over Boyd Mulenga & Adam Murray.
  • Second seeds Artem Krohmal & Merab Shvelidze were the biggest names to fall as they were humbled by Shyam Sequiera & Artit Wanna 6-0, 2-6, 10-7.

  • Seeded players out:
    Rob Bowenburg &
    Jarkko Maxum;
    Artem Krohmal &
    Merab Shvelidze.
Knoxville I Challenger (C)
2nd Round - Knoxville, TN, United States (Indoor Hard)

Men's singles (Seeds - Finals - Top Half - Bottom Half)
Men's doubles (Draw)
  • Seventh seed Roy Daniels looks to be finally returning to touch after he edged out a three-set thriller against compatriot Mat Mitchell. Mitchell had three match points on the Daniels service in the third set, but just could not convert as the match was sent to a deciding tiebreaker. There the former top 100 player used his superior match fitness to surge to a 6-3, 3-6, 7-6(2) win. Whilst it was a disappointing loss for the former No. 55, it has been a promising return to competitive tennis.
  • Matt Bre, however, had a day he'd rather forget as he was comfortably beaten by second seed Julian Day 6-1, 6-3.

  • Seeded players out: Oscar Highsmith; Matthew Tobin.
  • Marcuss Deane & Rick Langley made the most of their doubles wildcard into Knoxville as they came out of a tense three-set affair with Thomas Luck & Robert Lyle. Despite having a breadstick put on them in the second, the new CWLand duo played admirably in the match tiebreaker - saving three match points and finally converting their third to escape 6-3, 1-6, 15-13.
  • There was no such luck for Matt Bre & Mat Mitchell as they gave up a one set lead to bow out to Angel & Elvis Vallejo 2-6, 7-6(2), 12-10.

  • Seeded players out: Strongth Badlee & Anothy Ficher; Doug Plunkett & Anthony Weatherby.

Valencia Open
Quarter Finals - Valencia, Spain (Indoor Hard)

Men's singles (Seeds - Finals - Top Half - Bottom Half)
Men's doubles (Draw)
  • World No. 20 Randy Smeltz set out to arrest a 0-2 record against Daniel Páez Blanco, but was yet again slaughtered by the rampant top seed. The pair had previously met twice on clay in Monte Carlo (6-2, 6-2) and Stuttgart (6-0, 7-5), but there was absolutely no improvement for Smeltz on the faster surface as he fell to a 2-6, 1-6 victory. Blanco, whose seven titles this season have all come on clay, had not dropped a set this week and was keen to continue his barnstorming run against Smeltz. He fired down six aces and controlled the match to leave Smeltz with no answers from the net or the baseline as he set up his best chance yet to claim a maiden hard court title ahead of Flushing Meadows. He'll face compatriot Ion Andueza in the semi finals who defeated Argentina's Juan Moreno for the second week in a row 6-1, 4-6, 6-2.
  • In the second semi final, Sanchez Emelio will face off against sixth seed Davis Kennedy. Emelio made it three out of four Spaniards in the semis with a 7-5, 6-1 win, whilst Kennedy kept his slim finals hopes alive with a 7-5, 7-6(6) upset of St. Petersberg champ Illya Altman.

  • Seeded players out:
    Illya Altman;
    Juan Moreno;
    Randy Smeltz.
  • All three remaining seeded teams in the doubles pulled through in straight sets, whilst Germans David Kestenholz & Daniel Zwygart edged out Donovan Burbach & Ben Turner 6-0, 2-6, 10-6.

  • Seeded players out: None.
Davidoff Swiss Indoors
Quarter Finals - Basel, Switzerland (Indoor Hard)

Men's singles (Seeds - Finals - Top Half - Bottom Half)
Men's doubles (Draw)
  • CWLand's Jojo Mustard failed to make it three from three against Darcy Cowan as the world No. 5 finally produced a win against the world No. 30; this time in straight sets. Cowan, who was made to toil in his second round clash, came out more determined in the quarters and proved too strong and accurate for Mustard whose first service percentage dipped below 50 in the first set. Mustard improved in the second, but not enough as Cowan earned a break in what would be the final game to advance to a semi final clash with Carlo Amato following his 6-4, 6-3 win over talented Diego Hurtado in an affair full of highlights. Cowan will hope to use this tournament to reverse his late-season slump ahead of the World Tour Finals; a string of defeats has seen him go 5-5 since his final in Washington (not including his three wins this week).
  • The second semi final promises to be a massive affair as top seed Radek Špidlá does battle with fourth seed Rick Henson. It seems quite amazing that Henson could still be in contention for a spot in New York after missing out on the entire clay court season, but he played confidently despite losing his first set in two weeks in a 7-5, 3-6, 6-1 win over Danijel Micic. Špidlá meanwhile was untroubled as he coasted past Jean-Christophe Genghini 6-2, 6-2.

  • Seeded players out:
    Danijel Micic.
  • Heath Davis & Jojo Mustard look to be a hard team to stop in the doubles draw as they overcame a brief scare to push past quality Indian pair Ritwik Bhutia & Harpreet Gupte. Bhutia and Gupte haven't shown their full potential, but pushed the CWLand top seeds to three sets before succumbing in a tiebreaker to the confident CW Open champs. Davis and Mustard are the last seeded team remaining, and face Alex Karlen & Jochen Sas in the semi finals.
  • In the other semi, one more Swiss player in Pascal Schmidt teams up with Radu Ghiţă of Romania to face Shyam Sequiera & Artit Wanna.

  • Seeded players out:
    Liam Bailey &
    Matthew Charnock.
Knoxville I Challenger (C)
Quarter Finals - Knoxville, TN, United States (Indoor Hard)

Men's singles (Seeds - Finals - Top Half - Bottom Half)
Men's doubles (Draw)
  • Seventh seed Roy Daniels was both the last CWLander and last seed to bow out of the Challenger field in Knoxville as he was beaten in three sets by local Waylon Jones. Jones joined two other Americans in the semi finals by neutralising the Daniels serve and making the most of his increased longevity to secure a late break and a 6-2, 4-6, 7-5 upset. He'll face compatriot Anothy Ficher after the teenager eased past Justin Williamson 6-1, 6-4.

  • Seeded players out: Randy Bruce; Roy Daniels; Julian Day.
  • Doubles pair Marcuss Deane & Rick Langley join Daniels on the scrapheap after they failed to make the most of a dominant second set against Mario Acosta & Gonzalo Castro. The top seeds were stunned as they dropped the second 1-6, but forced themselves to focus in the tiebreaker where their experience together paid off in the form of a 7-6(3), 1-6, 11-9 win. They face experienced Aussie veterans Rod Bosnar & Steve Cole.

  • Seeded players out: None.

Oxenstierna has the chance to retire Gryzlov, but I can't see him getting past Boyd. Really brutal draws all round for CWLand. Mustard probably gets Hall in 2R, Oxenstierna has Hall in his quarter section but a whole lot of out-of-form players make his road there easier.

Hancianu gets Špidlá in 2R after a probable win first up against a hard court joke, whilst Davis has Blanco as a 2R opponent. Drake, like Ox, has a good ride to the quarters but a tough opponent there if Valencia is anything to go by. Would say that Smeltz has the easiest ride of the lot - no gimmies, but Cowan/Brdar/Altman is sure as **** a more gentle draw that the other sections.
