Hasn't lost a challenger final when he's able to make one. Good effort.

Beat you to it.

Arghh! Millman has had to retire from his first round match in Paris after the first set. I think his back is still bothering him, he looked very ginger.

Beat you to it.

Oops, so you did!

I did it upon myself by starting a new page so it deserved to get missed.

Kubler has withdrawn from Canberra with a knee injury. Hopefully nothing to serious.

That's Kyrgios, Millman, Kubler and Tomic all done for the year with injury.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

So it turns out Millman tore his obturator (I had to google it!) at the US Open and has struggled to get it right since. As expected, done for the year now.

Canberra ITF has been all-Aussie since semis. Rogowska beat Sharma, Hives and Wallace playing.

Barty scraped through in her group in the elite tournament in zhuhai. She is on court now against goerges.

Ash wins and reaches the final. No idea on points awarded for this tournament, but should secure a top 16 finish for the season.

440 points for the finalist.
240 for aemi finalists.

Barty just won the title! Gains at least 700 points and should rise to 16. What an end to the season. Who will win the newcombe medal out of barty, millman and de minaur?

 

[JackNah_8]

Tough one.

Either de Minaur or Barty?

up to CH 15

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Great result from Barty!

I think de Minaur will win the medal this year. I would love Millman to win it, and Ebden has had a very good year too, but I think they will give it to a younger player. Both Barty and de Minaur would be worthy recipients IMO but I reckon Alex will just edge out Ash.
