The kid is the ultimate fighter. Lady at the desk didn't have the scores, but she guaranteed Jamie won in 3. Way to go Baker!

Makes a change for Brit fighting and winning

Wasn't too worried about Jamie winning this one. He doesn't have a lot to prove at this level so losing this match after 2 tournament wins would probably just indicate tiredness. Perfectly reasonable after such a great run. However, Jamie proves that he's keen to carry on and one can only congratulate him for his continued fighting spirit and positive attitude. Such a great player to follow. Well done the Baker Boy once more. smile

jamie didn't get my american humor. i sent him a text saying.."broken record, another boring text, congrats baker boy". his reply.."what record did i break". what i meant by that was, every text i send him is the same thing. "congrats on the win today. well done again" i thought it was pretty funny.

lol. i can see how jamie mis-interpreted it tho. :)

RobC · All-time great

Surely Jamie's too young to remember vinyl records?

James · Satellite level

Im 19 and understand the term 'broken record'.. He probably just read it once over and took it literally.

steven · Tennis legend

He'll know what the phrase means, for sure, I think he just read it the wrong way because he was thinking about his 12-match winning streak! It just shows how competitive he is

Maybe we should hunt for a record he has broken. Come to think of it, has a Brit ever won 12 matches in a row at any pro level before?!

RobC · All-time great

how's about when Andy won those back to back challengers in 05?

Edit: scratch that: It was Aptos and Binghampton and there were 3 tournaments in between

I don't think he did win back to back Challengers, but he won back to back Futures at the end of 2004, then reached the QFs of the la Serena Challenger, so that was a dozen wins on the trot.

So, unless anyone knows better, I think he might have equalled Andy's record for the longest winning streak by a Brit in living memory.

The question now is, can Jamie manage a Baker's Dozen (neat, eh!) or will it turn out to be unlucky 13? confused

what about one of our players who played satelites? they could have won quite a few in a row?
