C'mon Josh - don't blink !

Whatever happens now, this is great to see, although it is a bit late for your 2014 ranking prediction wink

 

Don't upset me furious - could have sworn Sim meant calendar year 2014 !  (well, I guess that'd be impossible now too but at least it might have got a bit closer . . .)

But a top 500 in the near future would be VERY nice,, wouldn't it ????

Josh was winning 3-1 with a break point for 4-1. But his opponent held, and then broke, So now 3-3 . ..

I fear a big momentum shift here. Josh had 15-40 to go up a break again but Ehara hangs on. Last 3 games all close but all gone the wrong way.

*3-4

Ehara evens things up by taking the second set by 6-3. hmm

It was all going so well when he had BP for a double break and 4-1. Since then, Ehara has dominated the scoreboard with 5 games in a row.

So into a decider - or is it an MTB like they used yesterday. I really hope not.

Phew. At least they are playing a proper set.

Josh stops the rot and opens with a hold to love. How important might that be for his confidence.

1-0*

Great news, shame it came when he hasn't got another tournament to play for a few weeks.

Hopefully something to build on.

Great, well done Josh, title and soaring into the top 600 on Monday week ( probably 580s ).

That'll be 20 in the top 600 :)
