And another break   

6-6, final set TB

Isaac had his first MP at *40-30, but then served 2 DFs in a row, then had a further 3 MPs in the game.

SF:  (Q) Isaac Stoute WR 1923 defeated (6) Frederik Press (GER) WR 814 by 2-6 6-4 7-6(5) 

Served 16 double faults to the German's six, the last of those on match point to Isaac.  Served for the match at 6-5.

*****

Final:  (1) Matías Franco Descotte (ARG) WR 497 (CH = 491 last month) vs (Q) Isaac Stoute WR 1923

Edit since it became past information 

MPs 5 & 6 went from *6-3, but not a 7th  

10 points for reaching the final. With these and last week's 2 points Isaac is up nearly 1000 places to provisionally live ranked for a week on Monday about WR 950 and GB #27.

Amazing what Isaac has achieved this week having come through 3 rounds of qualies. His performance is what is known in Africa as "doing a Loffhagen".

Can Isaac go one better and take the title ? Let's hope so. Been an amazing week already though regardless of what happens next.

Sussex uni's 'finest' is putting up a good fight.

In his first final, Isaac lost the first set 2-6. But is 4-1 up in the second against the top-500 Argentinian

Sadly, not to be:

Final:  (1) Matías Franco Descotte (ARG) WR 497 defeated (Q) Isaac Stoute WR 1923 by 2 & 5

Made him work for the final game, but too many double faults again:  eleven this time.  Still a good week for him. 

Very pleased for Isaac at making his first final, hope he can pick up a few more points following this.
