The 35 guaranteed points for qualifying and first round should also put him into the top 150 for the first time

 Is it not 40? 30 for qualifying and the auto 10 for the first round.

 Isnt that the womens points, 30 plus 10. Men get 25 plus 10 still, I believe

 Not sure where that table is from but I assume Wikipedia as similar to the style for the one on the ATP rankings page. Which has different data. The 2026 atp handbook also say 30 points. Page 6/272

 there you go, never trust wiki!! Yes, it was taken from wiki.

For ATP ranking points, I find the table at the bottom of the rankings faq page easy to refer to.

Really liking HBO Max showing match replays so I can catch up - just watched Tob qualifying today, playing some really good tennis. Chuffed for him and his lovely family too smile

Just to clarify re earlier posts :

The men get 30 points for qualifying, the women get 40 points for qualifying.

That effectively becomes 40 points for both if they lose in MD R1 since the men add R1 loser points and the women don't.

If they win MD R1, the men qualifiers in the end receive 30 plus their MD points and the women qualifiers receive 40 plus their MD points.( Emma received 2040 points for her US Open title, Toby would 'only' receive 2030 points for winning this year's French Open ).

I thought he played well and he has really beefed up since I last saw him. Hopefully this result and the last few weeks have given him some real belief to push on to the next level as I think he can.

A great week for Felix but he had a chance to win that. Seemed to want to run around onto his forehand a lot which kept leaving him exposed. Not sure why as nothing wrong with the backhand?

Agree with seagull that Felix had a definite chance, but was just a bit conservative when it really mattered. Classic case in point was the first set breaker - he'd pulled it back from 2-5 to 5-5. Jacquet had just double faulted to hand the mini break back and was clearly feeling the tension.

But in the following rally, Felix ran around his backhand and didn't do much with the ball, and Jacquet immediately burned him with a cross-court backhand. Win that point and the match could have been a different story.

But an excellent week for him and an excellent 12 months. This time last year he was ranked 640.

He's a great mover and a really gritty player, he's toughed out a lot of battling three setters in his rise up the rankings. I do feel that like Jay, to make it to the next level, he needs to be a bit more willing to dictate and take a few more risks at times.

My feeling was that Jacquet was just that little bit better - fractional - but he was always ahead, and getting pegged back, but never allowed Felix to get into a lead

So, yes, Felix just possibly could have won - but he didn't blow it - he played his level and was very close

For me, Felix's play was/is very different from Jay's

Felix was 'classic' clay court - very physical, moving the ball around a lot, getting a lot of depth and weight, a little bit of variation, some good serves .....

He's not a very tall guy - only about 5 ft 9 - so that makes outright winners more tricky

Felix is more in the Arthur Féry mould (with a touch less of Arthur's netplay)

(Jay, on the other hand, doesn't get much depth or weight on the shot - there are SO many soft, mid-court shots - and he's a good 3 or 4 inches taller and a fair bit heavier - there's less excuse)
