biggrinbiggrinbiggrin   Wonder if anyone has ever won a tournament winning final set tiebreaks in every match?

If Dan wins tomorrow , presumably Montpellier gets canned? The points for winning this week outstrip what he is likely to get next week, hopefully he will go for it and drop out of Montpellier

If Dan was to win again tomorrow and therefore not be able to make the Montpellier Qualies can he get a SE spot in a challenger next week?

 He could maybe do with a wee rest for a few days.

I'm no expert on these matters but I think you have to be on the Entry List to be able to benefit from an SE.  I think Indi's idea of a wee rest would be a better idea anyway.

Dan sneaked up another couple of places in the live rankings to 152.

Probably could do with a rest but he already has a spare week the week after. Dont want to lose momentum.

Done some digging into the ATP rules. So to answer my question it looks like he could.
EXCEPTION 1: A player who has entered and been accepted into the qualify- ing draw of an ATP World Tour tournament and has been withdrawn because he is still competing in a Challenger or Tour event in the same region, will be added to the last position on the special exempt list of an ATP Challenger Tour tournament scheduled for the next week, even though he would have been a direct acceptance, had he entered the Challenger.

Dans most likely route to points is winning this week. Montpellier will get canned I'm sure

As an aside humbert is live ranked 86 and a win will get him to a career high. Big match tomorrow night

 That's interesting.  Still think he will withdraw from next week and head to the USA after a rest for a week

As I said, I am no expert LOL.  Logistically would be tough though as his only options would be Dallas, Chennai or Budapest.

For those not on Twitter, Leon Smith has just tweeted the following:

Been watching Evo on livestream battle thru another match. Over 8 hrs on court this week. 2k for semis. Take in travel & coach travel&fee costs makes significant loss. Opponent takes home just over 1k for his efforts. How is that right? @ATP_Tour for this level of tennis?

He has a point.  I would be very interested to hear his views on the Transition Tour as well.
