Henry looking a little tight
He's serving great.
Which is normally the easy part, asyiu control each part, no worries about footwork etc
But his groundshots are a bit tight

2 doublefaults open the door for Yaroslav to have the first breakpoints, but Henry saves all 3 well, and uses the momentum to create 3 bps of his own. The first was saved with a super volley, but he converts the second to lead 5*-4

Henry serves out to 30 including a 132mph serve, and he is halfway there

6-4

Wow.
Managing to hold serve , just, just, really was key there in that set.
It relaxed him
And then he just smashed the next two games

Henry very reliant on that huge serve, his opponent looks like his ground play is more solid.
Not sure he deserved that set.

Some super slices give Henry the initiative in the first game of set 2 and he ends up breaking to love

Harry looks like a great talent. With his serve he could make significant inroads on the pro tour quite soon

DavidC · Tennis legend

A 134 mph serve and Henry is one game away at 6-4 5-3

DavidC · Tennis legend

A hold to 15, the crowd erupt and finally we have our first British winner of the Boys Singles since Stanley Matthews Junior in 1962 smile

Well played Henry

6-4 6-4 (no sets lost in the tournament)
