Three more weeks like that and he'll be Top 500 smile

Fantastic week for Oli. He won't have to worry about getting into entry lists shortly.

steven · Tennis legend

Excellent week - he's now 9-1 in Futures singles matches since coming back

Should be top 900 on Monday week, just above James Ward (18 from 2 c.f. 18 from 5), who is currently WR 858 / GB 23, and that ranking will get him main draw direct entry for virtually all 15K Futures events and quite a few 25Ks too.

Oli was always prone to a twitter wind up or two.

I wouldn't read too much into that, but you never know.

Spectator · All-time great

Or he might be referring to the fact mentioned in the article that he's working towards a degree? Who knows. But congratulations to him on a fine week.
