That's an excellent week (on the back of a very good week last week too).

Bravo, Luke.

And that will be a BIG jump up the rankings too.

Has been a fantastic week for Luke, especially as he was also defending some points. A great week overall for the Millfield players...there isn't a thread for the girls event but Hannah Davies managed to pick her first lot of ITF points up having qualified. Under bizarre circumstances that at 3-2 in the third her opponent walked off court and spent around 10 minutes chatting to her mother and was defaulted as a result.

Now in Zimbabwe with Luke and Jack looking for more of the same.

The 'big jump' in rankings for Luke certainly happened - up 154 places to WR 414,

Moves upwards for the others too.

Big congrats to Hannah (born 2000) who gets her first points and comes in at WR 1559
