Matthew Short Gains ATP World Ranking
10 June, 2010
Special mention goes to Matthew Short (BTA Men's Academy) for gaining an ATP world ranking!  Matthew has been training at the BTA within the Men's Squad whilst competing in Futures Events internationally where his most recent performances in Spain have earnt him his first ATP ranking.  Matthew won three straight set matches to qualify for the main draw where he faced the 6th seed (FRA) ranked 479.  Matthew lost a close first set 7-6, but came back to win 6-2, 6-4.  Next up was Ashwin Kumar (USA) ranked 735 who he defeated 7-6, 6-2 to move through to the Quarter-Final stages.  After five consecutive wins Matthew lost respectably 6-2, 7-5 to the number one seed.  Earning an ATP ranking is a great achievement and will be of great help to Matthew in the future.  We wish him the best of luck in his upcoming events and hope that he can bgein to improve his ranking!
