Coup Droit · Tennis legend

That's the way to do it, Joe - 8-6 in the third set tie-break. Give your mother an ulcer, why don;t you ????

Boy's final:

Joe Tyler def. (Q) Duje Ajdukovic (CRO) 6-3 1-6 7-6(6)

That's going to be a BIG boost to his ranking (he's only got 4 counters in singles at the moment).

And, of course, the boys' doubles was a given for GB, but Joe decided to do the double as, obviously, he was only just nicely warmed up.

Boys' Final

Will DAVIES (GBR) / Joe TYLER (GBR) [3] def. Jake HERSEY (GBR) / Louis NEWMAN (GBR) [2] 7-5 6-4

Not so lucky in the girls though:

Girls' Final

Ida JARLSKOG (SWE) / Kajsa STEGRELL (SWE) def. Olga HELMI (DEN) / Eliz MALONEY (GBR) [1] 7-6(0) 7-6(3)

(think Joe is in white and Will is the fairer, rounder faced lad next to him)
