What the heck?! I've not been following the Brits below about 200-300 much and am very sporadic so it totally shocked me to see Billy, who TBH I've never really paid any attention to, in the top 200! What's changed??!! Looking at his ranking history on the atp site he's never been anywhere near the top 200 until recently and he's 29! Some good wins I see too - Bautista Agut, Max Purcell.... I need to know more about him!!

 Also well done to him!! ....so had he been injury prone and has had a good stretch at last or...? I guess he'll be playing Wimbledon main draw this year!

 I cant say in his game, but his surge happened really over the past 12 to 18 months. Played and played , close to 100 matches last year and picked his events well, pushing through ITF events and then past the summer of 23 played almost every week and took in a lot of challengers at the lower end. Winning bred winning and to me it looks like Billy just became tough to beat, must have a good tennis brain and mindset - you can guarantee he wont lose easily and unexpectedly, and wins some matches you dont expect. 

story of 2023 in many ways and many on here felt he was player of the season.
