Looking good so far as Neil leads 5-1* in the opening set.

Do I sense Bob is getting a little more excited as some of those players in the 550-750 range are starting to pick up points again and move closer to top 500? Neil P, JWH, Farris, Gabb etc.

OK. I admit it. Guilty as charged.

Sadly though, we need quite a few players to step up as we are down to 13 in the Top 500 at the moment. At least those 13 look pretty secure for now as the lowest ranked is Josh M on 377. But we do need some movement from those underneath.

Don't look now though. Neil is *1-4 down in the second. That is definitely NOT in the script.

Neil loses the 2nd set 6-3. Into the decider.
