Well done to all the Brits who got their wins today, and especially to Benjamin George Levi who finally gets his well deserved ranking point
Good luck to all the Brits tomorrow, although I'd expect only Seator and Feavor to win and then meet in the QF's, and then hopefully Seator can carry on and win the title here (and looking at the draw, he has a chance to do well, but clearly that means he will fall apart against some unknown)
M Middelkoop (1) bt M Bright 6-1 6-0 (ouch) J Feaver bt L Shehu 6-3 7-6 (8) 4 points now so up to 1100's E Seator bt G De Sousa 6-3 7-5 G Sabeckis (5) bt D Brewer 4-6 7-6 (5) 7-5 - So close A Capen bt B Levi 7-6 7-5 - Again so close
Matwe Middlekoop (1) (Ned) [325] d. Matthew Bright [unr] 6-1, 6-0 James Feaver [unr] d. Lawal Shehu (Ngr) [1456] 6-3, 7-6(8) Edward Seator (4) [609] d. Gilles De Sousa (Fra) [1245] 6-3, 7-5 Gvidas Sabeckis (5) (Ltu) [700] d. David Brewer [1121] 4-6, 7-6(5), 7-5 Daniel-Alexandru Carpen (Rou) [1272] d. Benjamin George Levi [unr] 7-5, 7-6(1)
Doubles Q/F
Brewer / Leonte (Rou) (1) d. De Sousa (Fra) / Marques (Por) 7-6(2), 7-6(5) Idoko (Ngr) / Shehu (Ngr) d. Cooper / Valero-Payro (Mex) 6-2, 6-0 Bains / McGahon (Irl) d. Seator / Filenkov (Rus) (2) 6-3, 6-3
A brit in the semis is good to see, such a shame that it has to be only one of them though I'd really like to see Seator break the top 500, but at the same time, I want to see Feaver heading up the rankings as well!
Shame for Bright, hopefully he doesn't take that defeat to heart though, with a ranking difference of effectively 2000 places, he shouldn't be too upset with the scoreline and he comes away with a point on the board.

At the rate he's piling up the points (and the rate most of the other Brits are failing to defend them), Feaver is going to go from off the rankings to onto my GB Top 25 table in record time! LOL
