Well, Stan pretty much guaranteed he'll be watching the Year End Championships from his comfy home in Switzerland. No Shanghai Stan this year. He failed to capitalize on two match points, eventually
losing in three sets to Benji Becker. Stanley's countryman,
Chiudinelli, pushed FeLo hard, but in the end he wasn't able to get the
job done, with FeLo winning 76(5) 76(7).
Over in Russia, St. Petersburg was not kind to its Russian Sons today, as the three Russians in play didn't just lose, they lost big. Tursonov, Koralev, and Moscow champ and Cholera sufferer Kunytsyn all lost, none of them winning more than 2 games in any set.
Here are the rest of the scores for the day (seriously you guys? Three tournaments is just too much to cover in a week. I'm already tired).

[Q] B Becker (GER) d [5] S Wawrinka (SUI) 36 76(5) 76(5)
