Arthur is up to live ranked 247.

As it stands still quite a few that can overtake him but he may already have done enough to be our 10th player in the top 250 on Monday. A R2 win would certainly clinch it.

Babfive · Pro player

Arthur lost the first set 3-6. It's 5-5 in the second and Yunchaokete is having a very long discussion with the umpire and tournament referee about something of other. Line calls I think.

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

Took that second set 10-8 in the tie break, seat of the pants stuff!

Babfive · Pro player

Arthur wins the tiebreak 10-8 and it's into a decider we go.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

4-4 .....

DF · Tennis legend

Retired !

indiana · Tennis legend

Oh dear, I hope it is nothing serious. I think it is though a bit concerning that his retirement seems to have been not just close to the natural finish but also not between games, but at *4-4 30-40 ( having come back from 0-40 ). He had been 4-1* up.

The curse of the 10 in the top 250? Arthur is showing as now precisely live ranked 250 with more than a fair chance of dropping further for Monday's rankings.

Like Jon, I sincerely hope it's nothing serious.

Curious that when it's a Brit there's no comments about the Tennis Integrity Agency like about Mayot (however jokingly they may have been).

Hi I watched the match and unfortunately Arthur rolled over screaming in pain holding his leg. Did not look good at all
