great to hear from you, MattJames. And you're bringing the boys luck !

I assume that Nick is not a local lad but just visiting? Is that right?

Shout a few 'come on's from us in Blighty

I brought Nick out here from Millfield School, Somerset (where I coach). He is from Kent originally.

Nick missed out on a place in the final losing 6-3 6-4 to a very good American playing his first ITF, even though he's 17.

The boys managed to win the doubles title saving championship point with a return winner 5-7 7-5 10-5.

Successful trip out here for the boys.
