The headline on ITV's teletext says "Classy Goodall reaches second final."

Its been great to see a bit more coverage on there, even if its later and in less detail than on here!

Congratulations, you are now promoted to ATP level! (Actually, you somehow missed out on ATP qualifying!)

Josh - well done!

Final : Josh Goodall (GBR) (WR 220) v Lucas Rosol (CZE) (WR316)

Rosol seems only to play futures and has had limited sucess on hard. Mostly done well on clay. Meanwhile Josh has had a good second half to the year qualifying for Wimbledon and the US Open. He won last week in the F4 and should beat Rosol IMO.

If he wins Sunday then as Rob C has pointed out he will be ranked 200 !!! Another career high.

Congrats to Josh on another final!

Its approx 12.30 in Opava so the final should be over or in the final stages.

Have emailed the office for the result.

Oh well, still a great couple of weeks from Josh, just a shame he couldn't reach the top 200 by the end of the year. I'm sure it will come very soon.

I didn't know you could buy lighters for £160!

Gutted for Josh, but what a great couple of weeks.

Now get some rest for the new season!

Maybe I should have said '....lighter in the pocket.....'

Josh should have a kip for 2 weeks or so then off to Oz !!!!!
