Yes.

Good to know. smile

Spectator · All-time great

That is good news. Well played by Mr Hewitt, too.

Seems as though it's been a good first few months of the year for a number of players.

That's exactly what I was thinking . . .

Using Steven's table and projecting forward to next week, it seems that there are five top-25 British men who will have risen well over 100 places in the rankings since the beginning of the year, i.e.

Ed +198

Kyle +119

Marcus +388

Ashley +126

Tom +557

And, of course, nearly all of them have good extra points to add for the week after. It's really very encouraging . . .

Ashley back on track: breaks to 30 in the ninth game of the second set & will serve for it at 5-4!

I'm pretty sure he was 2-4 down in the tiebreak as well! According to philwrig, from 3-4, 2 winners took it to 5-4 and then 2 aces won it!

Ashley 2-2* in the first set. Break apiece so far.

Not looking too promising at the moment: Michon breaks to 40 in the fourth game of the second set: 1-3*.

Ash had his chances to break back but couldn't take them. Now in deep trouble.

*1-4

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

Ashley hasn't quite given up yet: he breaks to love in the seventh game of the second set to get back to level pegging: *3-4.

From Philwrig:

"Ash is back to 3-4 on serve from 1-4 15-40. Top work, Frenchman rattled."

QUite the comeback from Ashley this! Now serving for the set at 5-4

RJA · Hall of fame

He has turned it round completely and leads *5-4
