Robert Dee - British Tennis Professional - Beltranena comes back to regain the record
Permalink  

Now that we have ascertained for (almost) certain that the existing record for matches lost on the ATP/ITF circuits without a win belongs to Diego Beltranena from Guatemala and stands at 54 matches, it's about time we had a thread dedicated to our very own Robert Dee's 'attempt' to break it. He already has the record for straight sets losses, because Beltranena blotted his copybook by winning a set against a guy from Costa Rica inside his first 40 matches.

Anyway, here is Robert's history so far:

Just noticed that he has played Estruch (the player he lost to yesterday) three times - losing 2 & 0 the first time, 1 & 0 the other two times. The only other player he has played more than once is Javier Ramos-Martinez, losing 2-4 2-4 to him the first time in a rain-ravaged Future, then losing 0 & 2 to him the second time - clearly they Ramos and Estruch both learned something the first time they played him. wink

More pressing question: why keep going?

Now I know lots of people are like: "if he enjoys what he does then why not, etc" but seriously. This is throwing away money. It's not even logical. Perhaps all he wants is that record...

I didn't even know he was still playing events.

Either that or he's carrying on until he wins a set ...

The guy is living the dream - I like that. He's obviously a very wealthy guy, it's hard enough to make a living on the futures tour without not winning any matches. I just wish I could play him to see if I could beat him (as a decent club player, ranked about 500 odd in juniors in Britain).

I agree with Wolf - Living the Dream!

Notice that Rob's only once, in 51 matches, failed to pick up at least one game.

Yeah...just the one double bagel...which is slightly surprising !

I wonder if he could be a good coach...at some level....?

Definitely.  One of the local newspapers in Bristol reported a few weeks ago that the chimps at Bristol Zoo have shown an interest in the concept of hitting a soft ball with a bat... A possible roll there as head coach for Dee?
