Looking at these 'British Successes' - www.britishtennis.net/stats/2015m.htm

It has certainly been a great year for challenger titles with 7 titles. Re the futures titles a comparatively very quiet first half of the year ( and I speculated above at possible reasons for this ) has held back the overall total. But the encouraging thing going forward is the real step up in the second half of the year and, as said, some of the younger guys tasting their first successes.

Total challenger titles :

2015 - 7 !!  2014 - 0,  2013 - 1,  2012 - 0

Total futures titles ( adding on this week's titles from Luke and Lloyd, and hopefully they won't be the last of the year ) :

2015 - 26 ( 8 first half + 18 second half ), 2014 - 37 ( 18 + 19 ), 2013 - 26 ( 13 + 13 ), 2012 - 27 ( 12 + 15 )

This year's futures total has also almost certainly been held back by the cut in the number of GB futures plus it has been good to see the extent that our top 500 players have been competing in challengers as opposed to maybe picking up some futures titles.

Very late also but really stoked for Bambo, he's got all the talent and he will only get better from here, can't see why he won't be near the top 250 by the end of next year.

As I indicated on the Week 48 - Tunisia thread ( with my reasoning ) I'd say that if Luke ( and Evan ) get to WR 350 next year that will be excellent progress and WR 400 not bad at all.

Near WR 250 would be absolutely tremendous progress and great to see.
