Good one Colin. Great to see him back playing. He's doing so well again. We've surely not seen the best of him yet.

mjd · Challenger qualifying

Men's Semi-finals:

Richard Bloomfield (Gbr) bt Joshua Milton (Gbr) 6-1 6-2

steven · Tennis legend

SF: (1) Richard Bloomfield WR 316 v (WC) Josh Milton WR 831 beat by 1 & 2 smile

SF: Colin Fleming WR 819 beat (Q) Burnham Arlidge WR 985 by 4 & 1 smile

FI: (1) Richard Bloomfield WR 316 v Colin Fleming WR 819

Clearly the two best players in the tournament, it should be a good Final smile

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Another great week for British tennis in a GB Futures event, and another champion to finish the week, after getting all 4 semi finalists.

Hopefully Josh and Burnham can kick on from this week and repeat the achievement, while Fleming looks to be getting to the level where he is slightly above 10K futures and we all know that Bloomers is a better player than this level anyway

Over the same opponents in the final for the third time in a row as well!!

Hope Flembo takes the title.

helki · Futures qualifying

The singles final is as I expected, but well done to Milton & Arlidge for reaching the semis and dumping out some decent players on the way. Another good win in the doubles for Fleming & Skupski,

Cerovic & Danilovic will hate the sight of them.

What a week in the mackem toon!

Flembo for the title!

Fleming wins Sunderland 7-6 6-4 biggrin

Nice work from Fleming. Shame for Bloomers but Fleming is playing very well and fully deserved. Makes the lack of wildcard at Jersey even more strange as surely he would make the most of it with a decent draw.

wolf · Tennis legend

Yes, well done Flembo! smile

Hope he can step it up in Jersey next week (if he qualifies).

XCW4EVA · County player

Further evidence of ths stupidty of the wildcards at Jersey, another fantastic week for Flembo, I wonder how much farther he can progress?

steven · Tennis legend

Agreed, XCW4EVA, though maybe we don't know the full story.

Well done to Colin, this will take him into the top 700 on Monday week and he'll be GB no. 12 (currently no. 20) ahead of Seator / behind Skupski.

Bloomers now needs at least one win in Jersey to have a realistic chance of a place in AO qualifying, I would have thought.
