Regardless of what happens from here, it's just good to see Liam getting some wins under his belt. He's had a tough run since Wimbledon.

Back up to about 150 I think.

149 on live rankings.
Another win against Cilic would bring him to low 130's

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Up to 149 live rankings and only 2 players can pass him this week if they win the Lisbon and Buenos Aires challengers. Bigger points jumps to follow obviously. Cilic next will be very tough.

A win in the final against likely Djokovic would be enough for top 100 so theres a target to reach for

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Another 57 points in the bag. That's a tremendous win.
