In the first 10 games, both players had 7 break points but Castro took 5/7 and saved 7/7, hence the 6-0 4-0 score. However, Lewis has just won a game - 0-6 1-4*

This is one of those things that could go on John's list :

"You know you spend too much time here when you feel positively happy that Lewis has managed to at least win one game . . ."

That's a good result. Ken's obviously a very talented youngster but Marcus won more comfortably, on paper, this time than last.

In the next round, he's got either an unranked 17 year-old local lad or a lucky loser unranked 21 year-old (match not played yet) so it shouldn't be too tricky.

Hi plankton.

Yes, the 'points coming off' phenomenon is a huge big deal which is often easy to overlook i.e. we think that a player has to play better in order to go up 100 places whereas sometimes, they just have to play the same, because they've got a blank three months, say, and all the points are net gains.

Dave Rice is one of those with practically zero points to defend before the year-end,, and playing reasonably, so may well surprise people with where he ends up.
Dan Cox is the obvious 'high flyer' example of someone with the possibility for a great year-end. (and Dan E too)
Ed Corrie has nothing to defend either but is not in great form. Alex is playing well but with a lot of points to defend. And the list goes on.

If Marcus is not really playing again after this week (big fitness block ? getting his back treated?) then I don;t see him making the top 5 but I haven't done the math and he's got huge potential so why not ?. But it's certainly going to be an interesting end to the year.

No problem, Marcus gets one of the breaks back and is trying to hold having saved at least 3 break points...

Which he does now 2-4
