Out of interest, has the British Tour finished now since October , presumably it all closed down for Lockdown 2? Anyone (TA?) any ideas if there are events planned for the new year at all?

I don't think there have been any further events since October

On the schedule the following are now listed:-

18-19 December 2020 - British Tour Masters at the NTC - Grade 1 - Invitational
27-30 December 2020 - British Tour Aldershot - Grade 2
02-05 January 2021 - British Tour Redbridge - Grade 2

No news on the LTA site beyond that.

Arthur Fery and Grace Piper head the leaderboards.

Thanks TA. Presumably they know who should be in the masters field, a 2 day event must only be an 8 player field for men and 8 for women? Or 16?

Presumably theyre just organising invites and acceptances running down the points list?

In the past , do they seed the masters based on points standings or on world rankings? Guess the former is fairer but could lead to an imbalance in the draw?

They were 8-player events last year - and they held Tie-Break 10's the night before. I believe it is done according to the Leaderboard.
There were only two seeds, based on world rankings.

Tight first set but young Arthur takes it 6-4, and deserved it on balance.

It's been rewarding watching Féry developing - he's still got the skills I liked so much (a lot of flair, great timing and a real vision for the game), still hasn't grown too much (Stanford site says 5ft 9, which would be about right, still time, he's only just 18, but a few more inches would be good), but is really putting it together well now.

And Arthur takes the title with a 4 and 1 win. Just in time , hope the players can all head to their homes safely before tier 4 kicks in tomorrow
