[JAMES4578]

A tough matchup obviously but disappointing nonetheless, came back well- unfortunately a few doubles in the match breaker,

[supergran]

So disappointing for them.

[RoastLamb]

So thrilled for my Canadian dude, Felix, winning his first ever ATP title. I was super impressed with his partner, Humby too. So talented! Major kudos to Mate and Bruno too. High quality tennis all round. :cheer: :dance: :trophy:

Whats the situation with Jamie qualifying for the tour finals? He and Neal are in 7th spot, just ahead of Kubot/Melo who don't appear to be playing Sofia. Melzer and Roger-Vasselin (9th) and Purcell/Saville (10th) are both playing Sofia.

[Hawkeye]

The ATP finals site has Jamie & Neal in 9th spot.

Top 7 have already qualified, including Kubot & Melo, with Melzer & Roger-Vasselin in 8th.

Yes, the figures have been updated since I posted, presumably to include the Paris results. Jamie & Neal need a good run in Sofia.

[patmoren]

The 8th place is still up for grabs. Jamie and Neal might take it if they win Sofia.
