Yes, I noticed that and I was like "who he?"

And hats off to Kecmanovic as well - he reached AO last 16, IW last 8 and now last 8 here in Miami. That is a consistent haul of points and will be with him for a long time to come of course.

He is live ranked 38 but 15th on the Race and 750 or so of his 1200 points came in first 3 months of 2022; he will be top 20 in no time at all, and could be a threat for top 10 the way he is consistently going.

Unless Hurkacz takes the title here, again, Cam is guaranteed top10 next week.

Cerendolo v Ruud in Miami semis. All due respect and well done both, but the viewing figures wont be breaking records for that one.

Did anyone else watch Kecmanocvic v Alcaraz in the small hours last night. It was a treat. I never planned to stay up but it was so absorbing.

Francisco does not have an entry in the 2022 ATP Media Guide . However his younger brother Juan Manuel does. The father Alejandro also played pro tennis.

Alcaraz vs Ruud for the final, meaning Cam definitely gets the top 10 spot on Monday (Hurkacz defending his title would've stopped Cam).

Alcaraz has beaten Hurkacz, so on Monday, Cameron will be only the 4th British man ever to make the top 10 of the ATP singles rankings, 9 years to the month since he switched to GB, when his junior career high was 10, which is where it would stay - I don't expect his senior career high to get stuck at the same number

This late night watching is becoming a habit. I watched last nights Alcaraz v Hurkacz - that kid is so clever to tip it in the end. i used to focus so much on only watching British players or certain favourites but just watching for the tennis is very enjoyable I am finding.
