Yes, turning into a really encouraging week for the future with Kyle, Liam, Luke, Eleanor and Katie B all doing well, and indeed Cameron too.

Good also to see such fine efforts by these old stagers, Naomi and Alex :)

Marcus and Lewis about to take yet another 10K doubles title - 6-1 6*-5

steven · Tennis legend

They've been about to take it for more than half an hour! Hopefully just a scoreboard glitch and they have won by now, but if they got broken serving for the match, it might still be going on.

Lewis & Marcus the first GB s of the week:

Final: (1) Lewis Burton & Marcus Willis CR 493 (255+238) defeated Jake Eames (AUS) & Brydan Klein CR 1768 (1548+220) by 1 & 5

Brydan Klein had serious full out with umpire at 5-5 and Aussies serving which might explain the delay

Marcus & Lewis wisely fed off the disharmony in the opponents camp and some lovely winners from Lewis got the important break in tight set . Last 2 games Lewis was in the zone and Brydan got him seriously fired up .

As soon as Brydan lost his temper I knew we had 5th Doubs title of 2014 in the bag . lewis served out with an almost perfect love service game .

Nice to hear the 'on site' live review. So, Brydan is still gets a 'little worked up'! Who'd have thought . . .

A perfect finale to the week in Bournemouth. Liam continuing the form from his last tournie and Bambo basically replicating his progressive form for the whole year. I think Bambo is a bit of a bogey player for Liam so eventhough Liam's route to the final may have been more impressive, Bambo may be favourite, whoever wins I expect a very close match.

11 doubles titles in just 8 months but will it be enough for a wimbie WC

That's a very good question, Gary.

Spectator · All-time great

Congratulations to Messrs Willis and Burton, and to Mr Broady and Mr Bambridge. A good tournament all around.

Luke is an early break up.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Luke has just served for the set at *5-4 but Liam broke back.

5-5

steven · Tennis legend

Liam wins from breaks down in both sets!

FINAL: (4) Liam Broady WR 447 beat (8) Luke Bambridge WR 609 by 5 & 2

His 2nd Futures singles title should see Liam move into the ATP top 400 on Monday week, and from GB no. 16 now to GB no. 12.

Keep on moving!!
