In a rather desperate week this is certainly great news.biggrin

These results take Tom Knights back into the top 100 and Matt James into the top 100. That means we will have 8 in the top 100 next week. Wow!biggrin

Seniors here we come...

If nice Mr Draper counted juniors in his "20 players in the top 100" goal he'd be mightily close already.

Dan Smethurst plays Stanislav Vovk (RUS) (222 SE) in the singles final.

Matt James and Dan won the doubles final.

Dan will rise from 215 to around 77 if he loses the singles final and about 57 if he wins it. biggrinbiggrin

Simon,  Do you have inside information because the results on the drawsheet on the Czech tennis site say that Dan and Matt lost the final to Donskoy/Vovk 1-6 6-7(3).cry

Great job by Smethurst here and it looks like he's finally doing his talent some justice. Evo reached the finals here last year, by the way.
