Final: Arthur Féry WR 314 vs (3) Bernard Tomic (AUS) WR 184 (CH = 17 in January 2016)

Final: Arthur Féry WR 314 "defeated" (3) Bernard Tomic (AUS) WR 184 (CH = 17 in January 2016)

SC needn't have worried, Tomic gave a w/o in order to rest before USO qualies as play was postponed to Monday.

(Insert trophy here)

Well done Arthur. worth pointing out here that he hasn't dropped a set in this competition.

Not the way you'd have wanted him to win but can't be helped. Up to 237 in the live rankings!

Jeff's pariah wins. Well done to him-up tp 237 in ranking

I don't know that I've ever seen a walkover in a final before! Congrats to Arthur nonetheless: I will admit to being a little sceptical when he was given the Wimbly WC a couple of months ago, but he's proved me wrong with aplomb...

Apparent pariah of the board Arthur won. Well done young man.
Sorry, that is lost on me
Why's he a pariah?
He's always been rather a little fave, as far as I'm concerned, being a Frenchie and not really part of the LTA when he was younger

The young man mounts a superb run to a Challenger final to be met by collective tumbleweed. A thread that was contained on one page until I thought someone should post semi-final congratulations.
Apologies if I jumped to the wrong conclusion. Seemed the only plausible explanation when you have lower calibre events running to ten pages with posters breathlessly discussing who has the better cross-court backhand out of James Marsalek and Marshall Tutu. My apologies if I misunderstood the underlying reasons.
If an event takes place at 3 am in the morning, and no one's watching it because we're all asleep, you don't need a whole list of ten pages of people saying vacuously, 'well done Arthur' because they can't say anything else because what else IS there to say, in that situation?
If you wish to post 'well done, Arthur' then fine, and everyone agrees. But we don't need to double the forum's data usage by everyone posting the same thing.

Well done Arthur.
