Sam Walker won three qualifying rounds to reach the main draw at the WTT Feeder Dusseldorf, but then saw his run ended by compatriot Tom Jarvis in the last 64.

Walker (pictured above), currently ranked No 332, came from 2-0 down to beat Turkey’s Tugay Yilmaz (WR 695) in the first qualifying round and then had a good 3-1 win over Spain’s Juan Perez (WR 175), the second highest-ranked player in qualifying.

Another four-game victory, against Andrei Putuntica of Moldova (WR 342) put him into the main draw, where he was paired against Jarvis.

Walker took the first game but Jarvis (WR199) hit back to lead and, although Walker saved three match points, he could not turn the tide and Jarvis won 3-1 (8-11, 11-7, 11-7, 14-12). He next plays Park Gyuhyeon (WR 117) of South Korea at 5.15pm UK time today.

Tin-Tin Ho was seeded into the main draw and she today defeated Ece Harac of Turkey (WR 213) 3-1 (12-14, 11-8, 11-5, 11-5).

Ho (WR 175) did not have any game points in the first, but was not behind in any of the three subsequent games, including taking a 9-0 lead in the third. She next plays fifth seed Yang Yiyun of China (WR 71) at 4.05pm UK time today.

Before their singles clash, Jarvis & Walker combined in the Men’s Doubles last 16 against third seeds Youssef Abdel-Aziz & Khalid Assar of Egypt. They lost a close three-game match, having chances when they led the second 8-5 and 9-7 and having a game point in the third.

Walker & Ho are into the quarter-finals of the Mixed Doubles, beating Maciej Kubik & Katarzyna Wegrzyn of Poland 3-1 (11-8, 11-8, 7-11, 11-7). They play fourth seeds Park Gyuhyeon & Lee Daeun of South Korea tomorrow.
