Another good win for Billy. Back to back QFs. The week has fallen for him nicely as hell have another day off tomorrow before the QF on Friday. On another note was looking at his points to come off I think hes already got enough points for US Open qualifying which is good playing all 4 GS even if only qualifying is great.

So, a guaranteed semi-finalist.
Finalist surely! Marcus up to 134 in the live rankings but only about 2/3rds of the points needed to break into the top 100. A good partner during the grass season and some WCs might do it.

Very interested to see who the grass court season brings for Marcus! With all due respect to Scott, I think hes a level or 2 below Marcus ceiling. Would still love to see Luke and Marcus team up, as I always prefer an all-Brit team, but just hope he can find someone consistent to break the top 100 with!
