Great news for Liam and Josh in the Doubles tho:

SF: Liam Broady/ Joshua Ward-Hibbert GBR (6) Beat Andrew Harris/ Nick Kyrgios AUS (4) 6-4 4-6 [10-6]

FINAL: Liam Broady/ Joshua Ward-Hibbert GBR (6) Vs. Adam Pavlasek CZE / Filip Veger CRO

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Good luck in the final guys.

Shame they Josh and Kyle couldn't win their singles matches

The final is the 3rd match on Show Court 3 If Liam & Josh win they will be the first all-Britiish winners of a foreign slam title since Lee Childs & James Nelson won the US Open in 2000 (Graeme Dyce partnered a Finn to win the Australian Open in 2007)

Fantastic news! Getting down to business, how many ranking points is this for each player?

They get 180 points, but in ranking terms that gets divided by 4 so it's only worth 45.

In ranking terms, Josh has gained 125 points (80 + 180/4). Taking away his lowest scores from his ranking (30 + 30/4)=37.5. So he has a net gain of 87.5. That should move him from 368.75 to 457.

If that is right he shoud move up to c. 26 in the World Rankings

Liam gains nothing from the singles and 45 from the doubles, minus 7.5. Net gain 37.5 which should keep him where at 3 in the world

You get 360 points: http://www.itftennis.com/juniors/rankings/tournamentgrades.asp

180 for it being a grade A and 180 for it being a slam.

I looked at that under the bonus point thing. Couldnt work out if that was for every slam or only if you win 3 of them in a year

If you look at Khromocheva's points you can see she got 360 for US and French doubles wins last year. 180 for Trofeo Bonfiglio.

If Josh and Liam win 2 more Grade As this year they would get an extra 180 on top.

Does it have to be Josh & Liam, or just either of them i.e is JWH is playing with a different opponent?

So Joshua moves to 502 points. c.22nd

Well Khromocheva won 3 Grade As in doubles last year with 3 different partners and doesn't seem to have benefited from the 180 bonus points. Seems a bit tight if you have to have the same partner at each.
