Smethurst already has a ranking point!

Ah yes, he's shown without one on the draw and I knew he hadn't got one last week, but I was fooled by the fact that he got through a round 2 weeks ago and that point went on the rankings today.

some very nice results there, and no shockers just a couple of disappointments.

Thanks. BBC still haven't corrected that link, some poor journalist is working hard to keep tennis fans updated and the page can't even be accessed.

I presume they won't be the last results of the day though as the tournament is being held indoors... Play didn't finish until 10pm on the Tuesday last week in Sheff.

Excellent result for Coupland!!!

as for Smethurst...............its like waiting for a bus haha

Sad that Flan couldn't stop Cauvard from getting his higher-ranked-Brit-bashing hat-trick (after beating Rushby & Smith in the last two QRs), but some excellent results otherwise, especially from Matt I, George & Bam-Bam.

We're still waiting for Skupski's result against the no. 1 seed Tourte.

DJ · County player

... and Sean's versus Reix.

Drew · Jan 29, 2008

From the lovely Sarah in Tipton....

Thornley won 6 & 3
Skupski won 4 & 6

DJ · County player

Wow, that's some win for Ken - Tourte's some 300 places above him!

.. and thanks, Sarah!

wolf · Tennis legend

Some brilliant results there, especially from Illingworth, Coupland and Skupski!

Sheddie · administrator
