Kubler has made the QF of Sarasota and will play a qualifier Olivo. Should be an interesting race between Bolt and Kubler for the French Open WC with Smith also a chance (if Thanasi makes the main draw direct).
Sam Groth through to he final of a challenger event in Taipei. Matt Ebden made the semis there. And Gavin Van Peperzeel has made the final of An-Ning. Ranked at 458 he will take on Franko Skugor ranked 547.
Sam won his match in 3. Gavin lost in 2. The win will put Sam up to about 68 in the rankings. Gavin will go up 117 spots to 341.

Really hope Kokkinakis does well in the Bordeaux challenger coming up this week, he's improved lots this year and hopefully he can go far into this tournament to reward his hard work.... If he qualifies of course haha 
Kokkinakis has made the final in Bordeaux and will face de bakker. He will also move up to somewhere in the 80s in the rankings.

Tough but good win.
Millman up to 117 in the world after making the final of Vicenza and losing to Cervantes 6-4 6-2.
A good week for Groth and Saville who will face off in the Manchester Challenger final. A great confidence booster for Luke who had been struggling a bit this year.
Great news for the Aussie boys inside the top 100. Career high rankings for Tomic (24), Kyrgios (25), Groth (66) and Kokkinakis (69).
It would be huge for Tomic and Kyrgios if they can both sneak into the top 24. If you are seeded 24 or better, you avoid a top 8 seed in the 3rd round at Wimbledon. Tomic is playing this week and can solidify his position at 24, while Kyrgios will only have 1 tournament to improve his ranking before seedings are decided.

Jasika won a futures event as well going up to 328. Shame Saville didn't win because Groth is already pretty entrenched in top 100 for now. Saville qualified last year and beat Thiem so hopefully he can defend his points one way or another.

Ebden makes the final.
Ash Barty is playing a AMT tournament this weekend. Maybe a comeback?

Ebden defeats seeds almost all through Surbiton to win in 3.
She's named for another one next week
Won her first match in 3 on Monday, today's play has been rained out.
Won her 2nd match 6-2 6-2, but unfortunately the tournament appears to be cancelled due to weather. Hopefully she continues to do well at the 2nd one she is named for at Shaw Park.

As a result of his good form he's earned a wildcard. Credit to him I thought he was in a black hole ranking wise, made another final at Ilkley and has beaten some decent opponents.
