Oh yes, - with pleasure - group whoops biggrin

(I almost feel sorry for Mertens - almost, you understand, not actually smile - he was always one point ahead in that tb too, right until the end..... and, as you say, had that third set well under control, or so it seemed)

Fantastic, is this turning out to be a high day for British tennis , maybe since Andy won Wimbledon last ?!

The full story, in all its glory:

Final: Stuart Parker WR 713 defeated (6) Yannick Mertens (BEL) WR 483 by 6-3 4-6 7-6(5) biggrin

Right down to the wire!

With this week's title Stuart's CH (700 from November 2020) will improve to around the 630s in the post AO rankings, GB #18, and next week counts too. He could miss out the 600s.
