Nice going Skupster worship.gif and clap.gif

That's a lovely looking 8 points so far this week and a chance for 12.

David CANUDAS-FERNANDEZ (ESP) is currently ranked 1135 with a CH of 694 * (23 Apr 2007) so Ken is a big favourite! pray.gif

He also has a DA for Kuwait, so I don't know if he can stick around in Greece - if he can, I think he should.

Yay! Great news from Skupster, yes he's the top seed but how many times have we seen that making no difference. Hope he can take the final as well, but either way it's been a great week for him.

This win will, of course, take Ken into the top 600 for the first time smile.gif and he'll be in the GB top 10, overtaking Childs and Kasiri, the two finalists in this event last year.

Oh, yes, I forgot that he has to go to Kuwait. I don't think he is allowed to take the SE, right?

Yes, it should be starting in 5 minutes. Time to cross fingers, toes, eyes and big fluffy ears. (if you're my avatar, at least!)

Get in there!!! clap.gifwinner.gif Result! And great scheduling in the end!

I hope he enjoys this win and keeps it real in singles!

Do you think he'lll still go to Kuwait?

Should give him great confidence for the grass season!

(He's contracted to play the Liverpool exhibition tournament in mid-june by the way - along with more ATP players and Bernard Tomic of all people!)
