Any advance on these, please let me know and I'll add them.

Akhenaten · Pro player

Miles MacLagan won 15 matches in row in July 2002.

He won successive futures in Romania & Egypt (qualifying for both!)
Then won his first round in the next Egypt futures.

jamatthews · Strong Club Player

14 - Anne Keothavong 2001 - 2 10K titles followed by a 25K final.
immediately followed by
11 - Anne Keothavong 2001 - 1 10 K title, 25K qualification and then semi final.

Given she lost the 25K final 7-6(8) in the 3rd she could have had a 26 match streak...

That's a good one

- added above.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

steven you forgot boggo won 2 challengers in a row in 06, bergamo and wrexham. he also had a 15 match indoor streak.

wolf · Tennis legend

One of the Bergamo wins was a W/O (match not started) - there were two Rets in that streak as well, but they count - and he lost in R1 in Wolfsburg, so that streak was 9. I'm struggling to find the 15 match streak, when was it?

No, he did win Wrexham:

32	W	Martin LEE (GBR)	2-6 6-3 7-6(4)
16	W	Ivo HEUBERGER (SUI)	6-3 3-0 RET
QF	W	Igor KUNITSYN (RUS)	6-4 4-6 6-4
SF	W	Jean-Michel PEQUERY (FRA)	7-6(6) 6-2
FR	W	Stephane ROBERT (FRA)	6-3 6-2

and Bergamo:

32	W	Arvind PARMAR (GBR)	7-6(5) 6-2
16	W	Alex CALATRAVA (ESP)	6-4 6-4
QF	O	Jean-Michel PEQUERY (FRA)	W/O
SF	W	Andreas SEPPI (ITA)	6-7(4) 6-4 6-2
FR	W	Simone BOLELLI (ITA)	6-1 3-0 RET

... both in 2006.

I wonder if you're confusing Wrexham with another Welsh Future last year - he lost in the Final of Cardiff after winning in Valencia. That was an 8-streak because the semi in Cardiff was a W/O.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

wolf you were thinking of cardiff where he lost the final last year.

i forgot he got a w/o vs Pequrry (but he would have won anyway

)

the 15 match indoors was just those 2 events and the sunderland from the end of year b4

steven · Tennis legend

Oh you mean a winning streak of 15 indoors, interrupted by some outdoor losses?

Count Zero · Tennis legend

yes, thats why i said indoor

jamatthews · Strong Club Player

Not as impressive, but I've just remembered Anne had another 14 match win during her comeback in 2005. 2 10K titles and a 10K final losing to Melanie South.

Certainly some good ones from our players and special congratulations to Tim. smile
