Well Done to Neil on making it to the SF!!

Though I do have to admit I find it strange, players of his age persvering with the Tour as he can't be making any money and he must know that it's to late to get to the upper levels of the tour.

Although the gizmo seems stuck, got to assume that Neil won that match against the second seed, as the gizmo is stuck on MP and the doubles has now started.

So well done, Neil !

Add: As confirmed by SC above smile

So, again, and now without any doubt, well done, Neil.

Well done Neil. Starting to show good form again on his first trip outside the UK since retiring from France F13 in July

(Live scores stuck on MP for me)

A tough match ahead for Neil tomorrow, his opponent has 14 futures singles titles and won his 45th doubles (mostly futures) title this afternoon.

Question: Has anyone won more futures doubles events than this?

Gabriel Trujillo-Soler and Claudio Grassi both have won 48. Jaroslav Pospisil has 46 and Roman Jebavy has 44 as well. Might be more and/or better not sure.
