Heartbreaking for Anton but what a match. This experience will help him so much, not just because it was five sets or Wimbledon but he'll learn a lot from playing such a quality opponent who got every ball back and a few more. Big lessons, great week. All positive.

Unfortunate with the draw there, hopefully can get enough matches over the next 2 months to sneak into US Open qualies

He looks odds on for a main draw wildcard next year at least

Still feel he shpuld have had a MDWC. IMO had shown enough in previous weeks to warrant one as it was clear he was playing at low 100s level

Honestly, sad with the loss but so many positives from Anton! He has some great weapons, he has the game and is a fighter / fully invested. Needs to work on keeping his emotions in check / playing smarter but I think this will all come with more experience.

Ultimately a great grass court season and has beaten some far higher ranked players along with a great fight in the FQR. I also really liked how he commended his opponent on several great play moments - really nice to see!

Anton looks set to have a great career if he can play the big points with better consistency and cut out some of the errors that young players often have. But he looks like a great prospect though...

So Arthur going the distance, as a final net sneak doesn't work. He's stayed with it anyway so far.

6-4 6-3 6-7(5) 6-7(5)
