Great result - looking at Jack's points coming off he should be in with a real chance of a seeding at Wimbledon.

The next 24 hours will see success either for the Brits or for the de Minaurs wink

 Definitely - top 20 by year end, possibly top 20 by Wimbledon. Seeding opportunity for sure. 

Seeing through Acapulco and then IW and Miami are important - not sure of his clay credentials and how many points he will build on the dirt, so seeing through these final hardcourt events with success could be important to him

Certainly is indeed looking good for the coming months. Jack has only a total of 190 ranking points due to come off before Wimbledon, indeed before August with him missing last year's grass court season.

So a great chance of bring seeded for Wimbledon, and even more so for the US Open.

With his 200 points so far here he is live ranked 37 on 1151 points ( up 13 just this week, past a tight cluster of players ). 2 more wins and the title would take him to 1451 points. Take off these 190 points would take him back to a pre Wimbledon minimum of 1261 points, which is still actually more than the current WR 32, Jordan Thompson, who is on 1246 points. So he could virtually clinch these Slam seedings this week, and yes could get well into these seedings.

Thanks, Indiana! Fun last four in Acapulco. Super excited to see Jack on the grass this year, for what feels like the first time.

Well done to Neal but boo to Jack's result. At least if it's "only" food poisoning, that's a lot better than an injury.

 Really - didnt he have food poisoning at some other recent event , or was that heat? Still, great week for Jack, onto the next one.

 Good to see them clicking this week, and with Santiago at home as well.

What a shame for Jack. The first two sets split looks a good effort especially with food poisoning. So glad it's not another injury. Yes, a really good week for Jack despite this. Get well soon Jack!
Well done Neal+, going well!!

Mark Petchey tweeted that Jack has had food poisoning since early in the week. As well as some other players.

Neal and Santiago go live top 8 in the race. But they can be caught. A win would see them safely into the top 8 at 5th. After the next events in IW and Miami, the races start to take a little more shape and meaning, I feel. Up i

hmm  Disappointing outcome, but a relief that he hasn't picked up another injury.  Better news about Neal.
