Well, we are always bonkers wink ... but we know what he's put into this and how much it means to him, so in this case it's not that crazy. smile

And I make that 18 ranking points from this week, taking him upto around 552 in the world.

He was unseeded, beat a couple of seeds on the way including the final, never won a futures title before, not an obvious choice for winner.

also I love the way he contributes to the forum - gives us a real insight into what life's like for him - so we naturally want to support him as much as we can - well that's what I think anyway!

So what do we all do now - apart from wait until he gets underway again next week. What are the chances of a repeat ?

Tweet him @Fitzmister everyone, the lad deserves it. Think I'll raise a glass with something stronger now I can relax. Cheers

And, well, its Fitzy, the tennis pro that has taken most time to communicate with us, and has given us some real insights.

So many folk were with him today, because they really cared and so wanted this for him.

This win can only help him in his quest for sponsorship. Truly ground-breaking for him. Talk about tennis the hard way! Absolutely chuffed to bits for him.
