GSM - we have a finalist - well done Ash

Jack Buxton · Club Coach

yes i was worried for a minute there with a long delay at 5-2.....good win with Botzer having taken out the 2nd and 7th seeds this week.

Some good news to wake up to in the morning

Good luck in the final Ash

Suprised Dan Smethurst is on that list...Had a reasonable start, but not done much since.

Today's win makes Ashley the 10th Brit to have picked up 50 or more ATP singles points since the start of this year

Murray 3160, Ward 216, Evans 96, Corrie 91, Rice 68, Baker 65, Boggo 57, Edmund 55, Hewitt/Smethurst 50

Are you sure about the Ward stat ? 216 is James' current ranking, but comparing your stat to the "Race to London" figures, which I take to be points won in this calaendar year, he only has 151 points.

SMC1809 · All-time great

Steven's table says 151 points, and that's probably more reliable than...er Steven

Oops - corrected. I managed to miss Wardy out of my list completely at first, counted the players, realised there were only 9, worked out it was James I had missed out, thought "glad I checked before embarrassing myself" ... and then read his YTD points off the wrong column. D'oh! disbelief

Final: (5) Alexander Kudryavtsev (RUS) WR 588 vs (4) Ashley Hewitt WR 512

A ghost of a chance of the title? Conceivably, but "Kudry" has just dumped out Benneteau (A), the third seed, by 1 & 1...

steven · Tennis legend

Kudryavtsev (whose career high is 123 set in 2011) is looking virtually unbeatable at the moment - not quite Carreño Busta yet (who has a similar career high of 133 set in the same year), but he won the title last week so is on a 9-match winning streak and has lost just 11 games in 8 sets this week, including a 3 & 1 win against the top seed as well as the 1 & 1 thrashing of Benneteau today that SC mentioned.

Ash has lost the first set 6-3.

Not sure if it was mentioned (couldn't see it) but George and him lost their doubles final yesterday to Sam Barry from Ireland and Elie Rousset of France.

Ash has come back from nowhere and has broken his opponent twice on the run to lead 5-3 I.e won 5 games on the bounce.

Miriambee · Futures level

won the 2nd set 6-4!!

paulisi · Tennis legend

Ash wins the second set 6- 4. I had him down as a big underdog in this match. Can he go and win the match?
