Got to admire the week in and week out slog from Billy here, he is certainly going for target or Australia it would appear.

It would be great to see him in Oz. I've been a bit surprised but delighted about Billy's level this year.

 Tennis Abstract rate Billy really highly to do well here, 4th overall favourite. Let's see. But shows how he is rising in the game and his current form is strong

The above result probably for the best. Billy has played a lot and needs to concentrate more on his own tennis if he wants to make Australia. 2 more wins for the top 250 as has been said and probably 3 more wins making the final will be enough for Australia.

 and Billy is now 3rd favourite overall at the last 16 stage and forecast to make the semis, according to Tennis Abstract
