Pleased to see Richard win. He needs a good run as most of his big points scores are coming off in the next two months. He has 40 points to defend before the end of October, but then nothing after that until Feb of next year.
Can't have another one slipping outside the Top 500.
My thoughts are that Gabb moved up to challengers level too quickly and has suffered a bit with his ranking. He seems a good futures player, but if I was managing him I would focus on 10K & 15K's get back towards the top 350 and then throw in the occasional challenger. Liam Broady seems to have managed his schedule like this.
