I definitely think Frank can be top 100 again. And in fact, I think he will be by the end of the year. He has absolutely nothing insurmountable to defend through the entire schedule. And now, a time of the year he performs well is coming up, grass. He's already gaining positions with this run this week, and a SF will put him inside the top 180, and around 200 points from top 100, which isn't much. I'm excited for Frank's opportunities.

Hope you're right Filo, hope you're right

It's happening

Frank took the first set 6-4 and leads with a break to start the second. He looks in complete control - hasnt faced a break point and only lost one point on his serve in the first set

win the whole thing now frank!!!!!

if he does where would this put him in the rankings?

[ibreak4coffee]

6-4 6-1 - very solid from Frank.

Russell or Bogomolov Jr next - Frank is 2-2 against Russell and leads 2-1 against Bogomolov Jr. (all 7 matches on hard courts though)

He wont climb more than 20 spots or so if he loses in the SF

161 based on this -> http://tennislive.free.fr/

That would be assuming Robert doesn't win Ostrava, if he did then 162

thanks

well hopefully he can pull this off

what a great week this is for me, both davy and frankie in a semi final

Frankie starts with a break and then nearly gets broken himself but pulls through. Come on, Frank, get it done!

[ibreak4coffee]

6-3 Frank first set

Bogo breaks to start the second but Frank comes right back

[Filo V.]

6-3 4-6

Frank needs to get first serves in. Bogo is a major fighter and is based in Florida so expect him to play his heart out. Hopefully Frank keeps up with the intensity.

Bogomolov up a break to start the third.

Frank isn't legendary for mental fortitude this year so let's hope he breaks with tradition
