George's greater experience of winning finals proves decisive and will thus move in to the top 800 ahead of Oli

comon george. time to start getting some wins in the seniors. although top 500 player wont be easy.

^^Posted by me 5 days ago. smile

Yessss. So happy for George, I remember he tweeted something about how badly he was playing two months ago. He went back to the us open, built up his confidence and now BANG. Let's keep this up from now on. Don't bother going to Eddie Herr or the Orange Bowl, imo. Stay with the seniors now.

He moves in between Liam and Ollie in the rankings. Keep pushing each other on, boys.

Commisirations to Alex as well. But a good week nonetheless.

It's good, but not sure it's quite that good

Okay, you may be right Steven but, first pro singles and doubles titles and my mistake is not quite as far out biggrin

I wonder when the last time a Brit rose 1000+ places in the rankings in one go ... a bit of a 'cheat' getting himself that under-ranked initially, of course wink

(obviously players like Flembo have jumped from unranked to even higher, but I can't remember somone ranked having a 4-figure rise all in one go)

Alex will hit new career highs each of the next two Mondays too of course, it's been the best fortnight of his career, even though I'm sure he's gutted to have lost today.

Good week for Burton, Ward and especially Morgan, great to see him win a singles title, got to keep this up now though!

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Well Done George. Hopefully this is the start of these young guns making the move into seniors.

helki · Futures qualifying

to both lads for playing what appears to be a tough final. Shame one had to lose, but a good week for both players.

RBBOT · Futures qualifying

Has there ever been a lower ranked (as opposed to unranked) winner?

In 2008, Michael Shermer coined the word 'patternicity', defining it as "the tendency to find meaningful patterns in meaningless noise." The Believing Brain thesis also says that we have "the tendency to infuse patterns with meaning, intention, and agency", which Michael Shermer called 'agenticity'.

^^ Ah yes, I miss those days when I was at Uni. Wiki was always my first port of call.
