Well done Toby. This will put him back in the top 1000 (but still quite a way below his CH of 404 - I'd forgotten the heights he'd reached before).

I think Chidekh next will be a really interesting test of where he can get to - no doubt the underdog, as will Giles be versus Simakin, but interesting challenges for both

What does CO mean next to Toby?

I've just found a more "official"-looking key on Wiki to "CO" & "NG" which confirms what others have already said on this & the Tbilisi Challenger thread, where I first queried them:

- College Accelerator Programme entrant &

- Next Gen Accelerator Programme entrant.

I also discovered the difference between a "JE" & a "JR", both of which I see frequently on ITF draw sheets & the difference between which I struggled to understand (not any more, though! wink ):

- JE = "junior exempt": high-ranking junior players can be awarded a spot in the draw of a tournament through the ITF's junior exempt project, while

- JR = "junior ranking": high-ranking junior players can be awarded a spot in the main draw of a Challenger tournament through the ITF Junior Accelerator Programme, which replaced the junior exempt project. Such players are accepted on the basis of their ITF top 100 junior ranking.

Toby with his injury issues is having an MTO hopefully nothing serious

A creditable result, given the difference in ranking and MTO

Was right in it till the MTO hopefully just due to the amount of matches given recent time off
