Well done Lui, tough but interesting draw next for both Brits

 Lui is up to live ranked 381 even though he has just added 3 points so far. Quite a part of the jump will be due to 2 weeks worth of ranking points coming off players. And now 2 weeks will add until the next rankings update.

For now we have 26 players in the live top 400 ( with Aidan clinging on for now at live ranked 400 ). Remember when Bob's "25 in the top 500" was a thing and we seemed to take so long to get there.

 It was 20-in-the-top-500, from my recollection

 it was - and 10 in the top 250.

It wore both Bob and Jaggy down, so much so that they both left the board after becoming distraught with the ongoing saga!biggrin

 Sorry, of course you're right, CD - emphasises even more how things have come on. Was good though to set initial targets to get the players going!

I do think Toby has a decent shot at this event, lets see. Wont predict a title as I get told off, but he certainly stands a decent chance.

Definitely a good chance for Toby at one of these two Greek challengers. Conditions should suit him and he's just picked up a title on a very similar looking surface in Portugal.

A 50k title or two deep runs would see him march on into the top 200

Toby gets the break, he serves at 5-3.  I had only just started watching, so I can't make any comments.  The stream is wobbly, so I'll just have to get on with some work instead.

 Only saw a couple of points near the end, but Harry looked pretty relentless

 The seed in the section withdrew and this LL came in and won his R1 match.

Another really good comeback win for Harry - TNNS actually had Dostanic as the slight favourite surprisingly. Toby keeps trucking
