Unforunately, Remus lost both his finals (the doubles by a whisker) but I bet he's had a great week, all the same - this was only his second singles tournament of the year (only played a couple before that too) so as an unranked qualifier, he's done well

NB for those who like words and a smile, his French doubles partner's name (Pognon) is the normal French colloquial word for 'dosh' or 'wonga' or 'lolly' or whatever you call a nice wodge of money.

Singles Final

Sherif MAKHLOUF (EGY) [1] 6-3 6-3 Remus COPE (GBR)
