RE: Week 41 - Great Britain F20 ($10,000) - Sunderland (Hard)


I see there is actually a couple of more threads from 2011 http://www.menstennisforums.com/showthread.php?t=194062 and then 2012 http://www.menstennisforums.com/showthread.php?t=214003 although I'm a complete computerphobe can't work out how to get to the 2012 file open.

Might mention to Josh on Facebook that he is 4 titles away from the all time record. That might keep him playing for a bit lol

That is some excel database! I should have learnt a bit of coding years back, because I remember that I manually tried to compile a list of all Challenger winners but gave up midway.


You need to open an account on 2shared (and err... the email ID need not be genuine ). After that, you need to click the smaller of the two blue buttons that say "DOWNLOAD" and you get the file. If the problem persists, let me know and I will reupload it somewhere.

Yoshi is down with only 11 titles there, though, so some errors are present.

 He might already know. And on an, er, unrelated note ...

I doubt it's a big deal for Josh (and maybe he would happily hand back quite a few of those Futures titles for a Challenger singles title or two), but equally anyone reaching a milestone like 20 titles is likely to wonder if they are at or near a record and if winning a few more Futures happens to fit in with his other plans, I'm sure he wouldn't mind being the first to reach a quarter century!

This assumes that 24 really is the current record. I doubt anybody has been missed but unless someone (Akhenaten?) can run a program across the whole ITF database, it's hard to be 100% sure.

The ITF may keep records of course - I'll ask them if Josh gets a couple more titles so that hopefully we know for sure in time to make at least a medium-sized deal of it (and maybe prompt the ITF to feature it) if he does actually get there

Do check out the number of doubles Futures titles that Roman Jebavy has! Unless he graduates to Challengers, he is going to clock up an indecent amount of doubles titles before he retires, given that he is only 23 now.
