QF: (4) Neil Pauffley WR 473 beat Andre Gaspar Murta (POR) WR 767 : 6-0, 6-3

SF: (4) Neil Pauffley WR 473 v (5) Mathieu Rodrigues (FRA) WR 447


All of the seeds in the top half have gone out so the winner of this should be the favourite to take the title.

This will be Neil's first Futures singles semi-final since he won the title in Opava last November.

Rodrigues hit a career high 211 last year but has slipped back a lot since. However, he won POR F5 earlier this month and is on an 8-match winning streak at the moment.

Neil won their only previous meeting (also a semi-final) 2 & 2 - that was at Ilkley back in 2009 though.

Btw, once again a sea of blue (i.e. wins) on the men's top 25 table (or top 27, as it is temporarily) today

I like to think that the official cheque-writer at the LTA offices is getting wrist pain writing all those top-up checks to the non-Aegon players . . . .

Neil had to save at least one break/set point in the next game but they since both held to love to take the 2nd set into a tiebreak.
