Evan's good run continues. You almost wonder if Evan anticipated the change of rulings on the rankings and that is why he has focused on racking up the points at this level. Whether it's good judgment or just circumstance, Evan has had a fantastic run and of our players lower down the rankings, has been the stand out GB player this year so far.

Would be great to see him top off the week with another title.

Despite my "conspiracy theory", I think Evan's tournament selection is probably motivated by other factors.  I remember a conversation with Evan some time ago.  He had been talking to another ex pro (may even have been Tim Henman) about coming back from long term injury.  The advice he got was simply to play as much tennis as he can for an extended period, almost regardless of level (providing it was competitive of course).

I think Evan's strategy may simply be to play a few months of tournaments where he has a good chance of going deep each week just to get as many matches under his belt as possible.  It will stand him in good stead in the linger term.

But whatever, his motivation, the strategy seems to be working so far.  However, I am also looking forward to seeing him step up a level.  Perhaps the grass courts challengers will be the time, although as we know, the Entry Lists for those can often read like ATP 250/500 events.

Evan lost the first set 6-4 but dominated the second set breaker to go in to a decider

Evan is going to have to do it the hard way from *2-5 down.

He had 3 BPs at 2-2* but Trinker held. Then Evan was broken. He had 3 more BPs at 2-4* but again Trinker held on.

At last we have a , even though he did it the hard way!  biggrin  Trinker's an absolute bloody menace!

Final:  (3) Evan Hoyt ITF 27 (ATP 491) defeated (Q) Jonas Trinker (AUT) ITF 359 by 4-6 7-6(2) 7-5  in two hours & 57 minutes this time

Serving a double fault on his first match point didn't help!

Get in there Evan. Trinker served 25 aces in the match. Evan even had to stave off multiple BPs in the final game as he eventually served it out. What a battle.

Brilliant - Jonas is a very good player, and has been on a roll in recent weeks.

That was a hard match. Thought it was gone, at 2-5 down....

So pleased for him.
