Great work from Aly, he had quite a few points coming off and is doing a good job defending them. He has very little to defend over the next few months so if he stays fit and keeps playing like he has been then top 50 is in reach by year end.
Yes - big congrats to Ali (Aly?) - well done that man.
bedene took it on the tie break - good quality tennis from both players (except a dodgy service game from bedene when he was serving for the set at *5-4)
good stuff. was a bit worried after kicker got the double break back as he seemed to up his level although Aljaz was playing quite passively I thought in those service games.
Either way the end result is Aljaz is champion so that is all good
