Whats the Point....

Yes, he's got 6 points so far. i agree that one point seems like scant reward for getting through Futures qualifying and then winning a main draw match, the ranking system they use for the women seems a bit fairer in that sense.

Ermmm... the rankings system for futures in womens at 10K is the same-get through qualies and win a round to score a point. Even worse, really, as you need three sets of ranking points to get a ranking. It all changed last year (before that, qualifying did get you 0.75 points)

That said, you do get one for qualifying at 25K level in women's, and one for winning a qualie round at 50K+, and automatic MD points for turning up.

You're right, I was thinking about the qualifying points they get at slightly higher levels, which the men don't get.
