Expect some interesting post match tweets from either Cox or Malik regarding officiating. To say that both guys are unhappy is a major understatement.

Good prediction ...

SF:  (1) Dan Smethurst WR 410 vs (5) Dan Cox WR 461
SF:  (4) Ashley Hewitt WR 465 vs Richard Gabb WR 601

Dan S has a 2-2 record in Futures singles SFs this year, Dan C a 4-1 record, Ashley 2-3 and Richard 1-2.

The H2H between the Dans is 2-1 to Dan Cox but they haven't played in an ATP-ranked match since 2008.

Ashley leads the ITF H2H against Richard 2-0 - a 3-set win in 2010 and a straight sets win earlier this year.

This tournament is now certain to produce the biggest ATP singles points haul for GB from a single Futures event since the new points system can in at the start of 2010.

Futures producing 50 or more singles points for Brits since the end of 2009 are as follows - as you can see, this time of year is by far the most successful and 9 of the 10 biggest points hauls come from events in the second half of the year:

732013week 31Nottingham 15K
722012week 32London Cumberland 15K
642011week 31London Cumberland 15K
542012week 31Wrexham 15K
532013week 27Manchester 10K
522010week 27Ilkley 10K
512012week 37Nottingham 10K
502012week 36Roehampton 10K
502013week 10Shrewsbury 10K
502011week 42Glasgow 15K

Note that the total number of points available from 15K Futures is 78 c.f. 56 for 10K Futures, but that is usually counteracted by stronger entries from non-Brits for 15Ks ... though perhaps not this week!

In a similar vein, the best GB singles points hauls in Futures outside the UK since the start of 2010 have been as follows (30 or more points):

432010week 44Ramat Hasharon ISR 15K
432011week 46Roznov pod Radhostem CZE 15K
422013week 30Dublin IRL 15K
342012week 39Falun SWE 10K
322012week 30Dublin IRL 15K
322013week 21Marathon - Athens GRE 10K
312011week 38Danderyd SWE 10K

Surely Beadle was a bit before Cox's time? lol.

Enduring legacy.

First set to Cox 6-1. Not remotely surprising. Smetty was pretty lucky to get through yesterday and Cox is in good form.

SF: (5) Dan Cox WR 461 beat (1) Dan Smethurst WR 410 by 6-1 3-6 6-1 biggrinbleh
SF: (4) Ashley Hewitt WR 465 beats Richard Gabb WR 601 by 7-6(5) 6-4 smilecry

FINAL: (5) Dan Cox WR 461 v (4) Ashley Hewitt WR 465

The two finalists have not played each other in an ATP-ranked singles match before but have both been in great form recently.

Dan has won his last 9 matches and 18 of his last 20, while Ashley has won his last 9 matches in GB Futures (with an interlude in Israel in the middle) and 18 of his last 21 overall!

In Futures singles finals this year, Dan is 2-2 (won last 2) and Ashley is 1-1. One is the higher seed by one place, the other the higher-ranked this week by just 4 places!

Certainly been a very weak foreign representation this week. With it also being a 15K the opportunity was there for a big local points haul, which has certainly been taken.

I think many of the early season 10Ks had stronger fields.

Yes there were some stronger fields earlier in the year that was partially down to British players, i.e Evans and Goodall.

Next week's field at Chiswick is much stronger with Boy Westerhof and Jules Marie set to be seeds 1 and 2. Goodall is also still on the entrance list so might well play.

Speaking of Mr Goodall, with two 15K titles from last year dropping out of his ranking score :

He is currently WR 345 and GB no 6.
On Monday he will drop to GB no 14.
On Monday week he will drop to GB no 19 and out of the top 500.
