That's great result - well played Ed. Surely this takes him closer to that elusive Top 500 spot (have I just placed the curse????)

DUSTY DICK · Club Coach

Well played Ed. I really enjoy following his progress and surely this latest win over an opponent who is ranked quite a lot higher shows that Ed is improving all the time. His travels all over are certainly paying rich dividends.

I second that, Gareth, a terrific result!
The four points gained by reaching the semis should move Ed to c.533 in the rankings; four more, if he reaches the final, would push him above Miles Kasiri to about 513, while a tournament victory would seal that coveted top 500 spot - no. 494, as things stand at the moment. (As there are just 4 Futures tournaments on the go this week, it's unlikely that the numbers will alter much from those suggested above.)

Have been a bit sceptical of Seators rise up the rankings because of the quality of the fields in events he plays but that is a really good win.

Points from this event won't go on for another 3 weeks though - added to the ones he could get next week of course!

Outstanding Mr Seator....at one point last year I thought is this guy another 'Fulford-Jones' be he has risen swiftly up....go the Ed man !!!

Well done Ed. Hopefully this guy can shake off his 'overachiever' tag and become a bit more respected.

Jack · Intermediate Club Player

Yes Congrats to Ed, one of his best ever results i think and a great way to start the year.

McClune, however will proberbly be a different class to Ed, he played US open last year, hope im wrong though!

I fear you have cry

SF: Edward SEATOR (GBR) (6) lost to Michael MCCLUNE (USA) (3) by 6-0 3-1 ret. cry

The injury curse of those heading for the top 500 has struck again - hope it's not too bad.

soooo lame, this has kind of tainted this day for me, my excitement for Baker Boy being in the AO MD has kind of been lessened now

wolf · Tennis legend

Yeah, what happened to your signature XCW4EVA?

I actually read it for once, and realised it made no sense gramatically. I'm thinking of sticking a band logo there or something now :-S
any suggestions anyone?
