I think we can safely assume that Mr Olivetti has a pretty decent serve!
About 25 aces yesterday, and I think Jathan failed to generate a single BP. Already 14 aces today, but as I write Daniell produces his first BPs of the match at 5-5 second set.
Best result from a British point of view can't see Richard being much more higher ranked than 400-500 mark. Dan has a quarter final and final futures points to defend then nothing til Feb next year so alon with Tom F both these guys coul realistically be top 350 by year end.
Not seen Gabb play, but suggestion is that his ability is limited to 400-500 at the moment, whereas Dan is very capable of getting back to top 300 so agree with Jaggy's sentiments.

Richard Gabb is a really nice guy and a trier as well. Everyone has their own opinions but i think he can get inside top 350
Cox coming back from injury but I dont see him as a top 200 player he was 258 at one time i think if he reaches that again i would be amazed
