SF: (1) Ed Corrie WR 269 beat (3) Jürgen Zopp (EST) WR 374 (CH 71 in 2012) by 0 & 4

That win takes Ed into his 3rd 15K(+) singles final in 5 weeks and should see him hit a new career high around 260 on Monday week. Winning the Final would take him into the top 250 for the first time - and would make him GB no. 3 on Monday week unless Liam carries on winning in Napa, Kyle wins at least one match in Sacramento or the others there have a good run.

Yes, Ed has certainly been in a good run of form in the last couple of months and it certainly makes a difference going very deep in 15K(+)s as against 10Ks.

I had noticed that winning the title would almost certainly take him into the top 250 on Monday week and possibly to GB no 3.

Though actually I do hope that he wins the title and isn't GB no 3 on Monday week, because that would mean further challenger success elsewhere.

Certainly a lot of movements and generally good progress in the GB top 10, though three of that number are in DANger of comparatively falling quite a lot back after having made such progress during the last year or so.

Two doubles milestones - today's title is Lewis's 25th Futures doubles title, while Ed has now won 20 doubles matches (6 titles) in a row!

I hadn't realised Ed was in anything like that doubles run. I guess that's why he is about to break into the top 150 in doubles.

He's having a really good spell on both fronts.

Gosling tweeted that Dave Rice and Ed hadn't played doubles together since 2010 - and then won three tournaments, back to back, the first time they played together since then :)

He hasn't been playing doubles every week (or playing with the same partner all the time), making the winning streak easy to miss.

Ed wins his 5th Futures singles title and completes the double here

FINAL: (1) Ed Corrie WR 269 beat (7) Patrik Rosenholm (SWE) WR 395 (CH 362 in 2012) by 4 & 2

That should take Ed into the ATP singles top 250 for the first time on Monday week

Super :)

And as said earlier, that should put Ed into the top 250 on Monday week ( probably nearer 240 ) and has him provisionally as GB no 3. Over to the US challenger guys to deny him that spot.

Really good to see such a strong run in both singles and doubles and one I really hadn't seen coming, certainly not so good.

Excellent news.

Ed seems to play really well in streaks. He had that great run in GB 10ks a while ago.
