Congrats to the Millot family then, first kid is a magical time, wish I could have those years again! But why travel to Quimper??!! Maybe his strange performance was because he was beating himself up about that decision. Anyway, back home to mummy and baby: Vincent and family we wish you all the best!

At least 13 precious ranking points :)

5 for qualifying plus 8 for R1 win.

Good stuff, Ed.

No indiana, He just gets 8 points for the win which supersedes the 5 points he gets for qualifying! disbelief

I believe your incorrect, unless the rules have changed.

For instance at Knoxville, Marcus picked up 18pts for qualifying and reaching QF - 15pts + 3pts

Ed and Sean about to start.

I agree.

And look at last week: Brands qualified at Cherbourg. And went on to win the first round in the main draw. He got 13 points (8 + 5). Teixeira qualified and got to the QF. He got 22 points (17 + 5)

Good crowd, considering it's court 2, and no French players - nice to see.

Yep it has always been qualifying point in addition to main draw points in challengers and atps

Apologies guys you are correct on this one.

Ed and Sean a set down, but 4-1 up in the second!

Sadly, Ed and Sean loose the tie break 10-7 after some poor service games.

Hey, I'm getting a vague hold on this ranking points stuff after all these years :)

That means they'll probable go and change it now . . cry

Talking of picky rules, does Ed now get board and lodging, now he's in the main draw?

I seem to remember some horribly unfair rule that qualifiers didn't get it, no matter how far they went in the main draw? Am I making that up?

(Of course, he'd have got it yesterday/tonight for the doubles but that's finished now).
