Avantage Québec... Avantage O'Connell
Thomas O'Connell did it again in Quebec. Last year he was the conqueror in +35, and this year he dominated the +40 field.
He dismissed Jeff Salhany in the finals 6-3, 6-2 which was, coincidentally, his toughest match in the draw.
With this result Jeff rises and consolidates his 3rd position in the standings, and showing that he can also play on hard courts, he may add his name as a potential contender for the top spot.
Pierre-Alain Dubois was also part of the gang from Montreal that went up North, but lost in two tight sets against the local Raphaël Drouin, redeeming himself with a victory on his consolation match.
The steady Marc Boivin scored another semifinal beating Otman M'Rabety in 3 sets on Saturday morning. The match made him paid the price as later in the afternoon was completely erased by O'Connell. Still not a bad result for Marc.

| Nicolas Roy & Marcel Tremblay |
Nicolas Roy had a battle of the oldies when he faced Martin Lemay in the first round and scored a surprised win 4 and 4. Lost to Simon in straight sets in the following round.
Ari Brojde run past Jean-Sébastian Binette without dropping a game and put Marcel Tremblay against the ropes during the first 2 sets of their match. Marcel imposed his frenetic rhythm to score a final 6-0 in the last set.
Sacha Gosset had another nice run, this time to the semis, scored a perfect 6-0, 6-0 against Oussama Azizi, and later on dispatched die-hard Partric Sachetelli in straight sets as well. Sacha's dream run ended up against the wall... Marcel Tremblay
The best was the final match with Simon against Marcel... Youth vs Experience. And was Marcel's experience that got the best of the confrontation when he broke Simon in the third set to a 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 victory.
That's all for now.
See you in the hunt.
Yours,
IRON GAUCHO
