S&V · Club Coach

I really enjoyed 'watching' this, thanks everyone.

Fantastic

- yes, it's his biggest title so far (Sarasota was a 50K) and probably his 2nd biggest payout after Queen's ... not sure if the Eastbourne run won him more)

He should now be in the low 140s

James is the first Brit to win a Challenger singles title since Boggo won Kolding in October 2009 and he becomes only the 4th Brit to win more than one Challenger singles title this century after Boggo (9), Big Arv (2) & Muzza (2)!

It was great to share this with so many late(ish)-nighters too!

Yep - you can't beat the old livescore for excitement value.

Well in Wardy!

What a sad indictment of the state/strength of the game in the UK! cry

Well yes, there is a negative way to look at that (and it's a very valid point) but at least James is making great progress this year - he has now added two Challenger Finals in 3 weeks to his exploits at Queen's and his good record in DC live rubbers (until Muller anyway!)
