No, they're still an alternative to 15Ks (no H) with the same points. Based on past experience, I'm assuming the ATP main Futures page is wrong. However, last week's tournament was a 15K+H and they usually come in pairs, so a switch to a 10K+H this week does seem a bit odd.

Yes it is, but maybe the +H counts as an extra 5K, I'm not sure.

It's quite hard to tell where one block of French Futures stops and the other one starts, since they haven't had a gap since the end of August. Since then, they've had, according to steveg:

15K+H, 15K+H, 15K+H, 10K, 15K+H, 15K, 15K+H (week 42) 10K+H (week 43)

Edit: Looking at the application form on ITF, it says a minimum of three consecutive 10Ks or two consecutive 15Ks have to be held in the same country, which implies that if they are holding Futures in 8 consecutive weeks, they don't have to split them into blocks and can make each of them any level they like.

MD R1 : (PR) CHIKHLADZE, Lado (GEO) WR1215 v WARD, James (GBR) 7 WR380

James won 4&4

good win for wardy lets hope he can make at least Quaters here.

James beat Bossel 3-6 6-2 6-3 & plays the French WC, Axel ( ) Michon, in the QFs.

*  There's only one seed left in his half of the draw.  If he gets past Michon, 'twill be the unseeded Dorian ( ) Descloix or the seventh seed, Pierre Méténier.
