Millman and Whittington setup all-Australian final in Hua Hin

November 26, 2017 by Michael Keating

Last week John Millman fell in the semifinals in Japan to miss out on setting up an all-Australian final against Matthew Ebden. Ebden won that final.

This week we have seen Millman go one better to advance to the final in the ATP Challenger Tour event in Thailand. This tournament boasts $150,000 in prize money, along with 110 ranking points for the champion.

It remained to be seen if Andrew Whittington could defeat Go Soeda from Japan to join fellow Australian, Millman in the final. Soeda had defeated the no. 1 seeded Matt Ebden in the quarterfinals.

Whittington, whose biggest claim to fame so far is an Australian Open doubles semifinal berth with Marc Polmans at the 2017 event, came out against Soeda and took the match in straight sets winning 6-3, 6-3. Millman defeated Tatsuma Ito 6-4, 7-6(4) to reach the final.

The two players are facing each other for the first time. Millman is ranked at 165 and Whittington sits at 290.

Other Australians playing in this tournament included Matt Ebden (lost in QF to Soeda), Marinko Matosevic (lost to Ebden in 2nd round), Dayne Kelly (lost to Soeda in 1st round), Akira Santillan (lost to Edan Lesham in round 2), Alex Bolt (lost to Whittington in 1st round), Omar Jasika (lost to Maverick Banes in 1st round), Maverick Banes (lost to Tatsuma Ito in round 2), Bradley Mousley (lost to Ito in round 1 and Max Purcell (lost to Millman in the 2nd round).
