Didn't realise that Ali was back playing again. Off to check whether this win will protect his place in the Top 500 when his points drop off next week.
Back soon.
Edit
I'm back
And silly me, this is an ITF not a Challenger, so these points won't go on until the following week. As things stand, he will need a SF or better to regain that top 500 spot after dropping out for 1 week.
Ali has a further 16 to drop off in late Feb and then a total of 17 (16+1) in April. Other than that, he is clear through until November. So a real chance to establish himself and push on to where he needs to be.
