Cox went 3-0 up second set

With his win today, Josh Milton has picked up 93 points so far this year - that puts him 5= in the GB race, behind Muzza, Wardy, Boggo & Bloomers but ahead of Jamie B, Evo & Josh (to name just three) - if Dan Cox wins today, he'll join him on 93 points in 2010.

You'd think it was one of the old Satellite series wink

Cox is the only Brit to have won 3 singles titles this year, so he'll either go 2 clear of the rest or Milton will join him on 3.

The H2H is 4-2 to Josh, including last week's semi. If he can repeat that win, his winning streak will be in double figures.

With Dan winning, as you say taking them both to 93 points this year with 8 more to come for one of them, even more remarkable I'd say is...

That's 83 points won by Cox since GB F10 beginning 12/07 and 78 points won by Milton since GB F11 beginning 26/07.

It's been very good to see such huge progress by both. Now what I'd really like to see is that being backed up outside GB ( and Ireland ) futures.

Last year's Aussie Qualies dropped to WR 350, If the two boys didn't play a tourny after this one then the loser would be ranked in the 390's end of year with the winner in the 370/380's will be interesting to see if one of them can continue their points haul and make the cut, Would be pretty cool!

Think Wardy, Boggo, Bloomers will all make the cut, JB still has to do some work but i think he'll win some challenger rounds and a future or too if he drops down so i think he'll be there. If Cox and Milton both continued that would be 6 in Aus Open qualies!

But there's also GB futures in that period so most likely those on the cusp of qualifying won't risk it and just have a high seeding in the events worth 27 points

Whether or not Dan and Josh make Aussie Open qualifying, what they certainly have, given they only really started big points accumulation in July, is a huge head start for French Open qualifying.

I don't know what the general cut-off is for the French Open, but at some stage maybe next year they might like to get a bit more practice on the dirt smile

yeah i wonder what the usual cut for RG is too, oh well, i'm sure someone round here will know. ho hum.

congrats to dan and josh.

Dan Evans and Lewis Burton beat Sean Thornley and david Rice 7-6 6-4

Tennis36 · Masters Series Champion

Didn't drop a set

steven · Tennis legend

Not the result I expected!

FI: (3) Dan Cox WR 434 beat (5) Josh Milton WR 482 by 7-6(1) 6-4

So Dan wins his 4th title of the year and goes outright 5th in the GB 'race', not far behind Bloomers and the Bogster!
