Clearly a pretty huge ask but, being a Challenger 125, if Anton had sneaked into the SF he would then have been 'just' 2 wins and the title away from catapulting himself to very probably getting on the US Q list with a guaranteed 256 points.
As it is, reaching the QF will still take him to a further CH. Currently live ranked 342 on 152 points.
This implies that Anton wasn't giving tennis his full attention in the past? ;)
I don't think he was - and it's not an insult
Anton is a real polyglot
He did his degree at UCL (Economics and Stats?)
And he did some extra six month Certificate program in applied Data Science.
And i got the feeling that he was doing some work placement at one point (though I might be wrong) but his dad is a City banker, I believe (HSBC?), and Anton's certainly always said he likes to have his fingers in a lot of pies, so to speak
Anyway, again, I might be wrong but from his playing schedule and wherever I definitely got the impression that he was doing some other things as well as tennis, and - equally - I get the feeling that he's now focusing 'properly' on tennis
