impressive dominant show
good stuff james best of luck for the title

According to live-tennis.eu/ he will be rejoin the top 200 on Monday!

Great to see him continuing on from the form before his injury. You could have been pretty confident back then that he could hold his own in the top hundred, and provided he doesn't get injured in the near future, I think this is still valid.

Updating the GB Challenger finalists sheet, I realised James is only the 3rd Brit this century to make 3 or more Challenger singles finals in the same year - the others were Jamie Delgado, who made 3 (won 1) in 2001, and Boggo, who made 4 (won 3) in 2006.

I watched some of the stream last night. Peliwo will be the first to admit he played a very poor match, but he should be satisfied with his week overall - 3 wins at challenger level and a rise of 80 places in the rankings, and his home tournament next week. (What are the odds that he draws Dino in the first round?) JW did what he had to do in the circumstances - keep the points long, serve well and stay focussed. I think he has an excellent chance in the final. I might even see what the odds are.....

Quick question, Bob: how come you position the apostrophe correctly THREE times in the second "let's go", but manage to omit it THREE times in the first ("lets go")? There's absolutely no difference grammatically. confuse

P.S. Well done, Dino!

Ward playing really well, but both guys are.

Duckworth having a moan about Ward putting his hands up expecting a call to be out, but Duckworth balloons it out of court then says Ward put him off.

JW 3-4*
