Let's just say the final they slightly give most chance of

Ha! Round by round I guess!

Mind you, how many combinations are there at last 16 stage, 120 or so, so 1 in 7 is pretty good!

Does this challenger carry any sort of WC into the Master Qualifying?

The Oracle series rewards 2 top USA men and top 2 women with main draw wild cards into Indian wells

At the last 16 stage, there are 8 plays who could reach the final from the top half and 8 players who could reach the final from the bottom half. Hence 64 possible final combinations.

Guessing the likelihood has increased somewhat after today.

Well played to both our Brits.

Dan is now at WR100 in live rankings, after Ruud overtook him. He is now the highest ranked player left in his half of the tournament, and indeed only Kyle and Lloyd Harris are ranked higher.

The odds on a GB final are coming down ......

JonH · All-time great

Excellent stuff - Kyle is rated a 60 percent chance of reaching the final on tennis abstract and Dan a 47 percent chance now, although both favourite in their half. What's that overall, a nearly 30 percent chance of an all brit final?

Round 2 on the cards after Kyle walloped him in the Dallas Challenger (feels like yesterday) but I have a feeling it would be a closer match up this time were we to get another all British challenger final.

Round 3 actually, since they clashed in Monte Carlo just before Evo's positive test, Kyle recovering from 1-4* in the first set to win 5 and 1.

But well done both on today. And what can you say about Dan? From nothing to 100 in 10 months - that is seriously impressive by anyone's standards.
