That said, it reminds me nothing beats the claims made re Issaac Stoute supposedly having been GB no 1 in his age group, basically based on at the start of their first year in ITF, Isaac having got in first in ITFs and essentially among better Brits having been briefly on top of a competition with himself.

Whatever the rights or wrongs about his case, that was all ( or is still if they are still hawking that one about ) rather embarrassing from his supporters.

It was mentioned in passing but big congrats to Ali and Fran on taking the doubles title, beating the second seeds (having already beaten the top seeds).

Well done girls !!!
