I've added him to the bottom of the table on that thread.

It'll be a while before we know whom he'll face in the SF:  Olejniczak (POL/6) has only just beaten Santiago González (4 & 3) to reach the QF, so it'll between him & the Mexican third seed, Bruno Echagaray!

What, thats crazy, what is up with Josh, hes either really bad or amazing.

Excellent result. Now that's more like it.
