Mr Manlow should have done enough for an SE into next weeks event. (sorry if someone has already mentioned this)

Dan Man breaks Dan Smet in the first game . . .

3*-4 40-40 but scores have stopped.

Given the number of times ITF livescores failed in Dan Cox's matches this week, it was clearly never going to get through a set involving 2 British Dans without collapsing

steven · Tennis legend

Curiously, the match is still up on bet365 (when the gadget fails, the match usually disappears) so perhaps it's raining. Then again, there's usually a rain delay marker on bet365 when that happens. The plot thickens ...

Edit: the rain delay marker just appeared!

They're off again - Dan broke from deuce in the game that was stopped by the rain but Danny broke back again then held through deuce - Danny has now taken 3/3 bps to Dan's 3 from 13!

Dan holds again to lead 6-5*

tie break Dan S up 5-1 up

Tiebreak time in the 1st set:

Dan S first:

1-0*
2-0* m/b Dan
*3-0 m/b Dan
*4-0
5-0*
5-1*

*6-1 m/b Dan 5 set points
7-1

steven · Tennis legend

Having missed more bps (now 4/17) and finally saved one, Dan goes on to break in the 5th game of the 2nd set then holds to love 7-6(1) 4-2*

steven · Tennis legend

A great week for Danny but Dan breaks again to make his 7th Futures singles final of the year:

SF: (2) Dan Smethurst WR 272 beat (Q) Daniel Manlow UNR by 7-6(1) 6-3

FINAL: (2) Dan Smethurst WR 272 v (1) Filip Krajinovic (SRB) WR 223 (CH 170 in 2010)

Almost certainly top 250 if he wins, top 260 if not.

Very decent looking performance from Dan M again, given how well Dan S has been playing.

So that should be three GB Dans at CHs ( well one a first ranking ) as a result of this week ( or is Dan M a Danny ? :) )

Great week for both Dans. Hope Dan S can seal his week with another tournament victory.

so confusing reading through the scores there from last night!! Pleased mr Smethurst won that one keeping his momentum pushing toward the wimby wc. And again fantastic week for mr Manlow some thouroughly deserved ranking points, with hopefully a lot more to come in the future.

Dan M calls himself Danny on Twitter and his uni. bio http://www.uabsports.com/sports/m-tennis/mtt/manlow_danny00.html matches that too, so who are we argue, especially when it makes things slightly less confusing on the multiple Dans front
