Jake appears not to have a dedicated thread, but given that he won his second ITF title in Esch-sur-Alzette last weekend (his first being in Edgbaston last October, when he had to qualify & went on to beat Kyle in straight sets in the final) (both M25s), I thought he deserved one. He had an SE for the Loughborough M25 this week & has of course now reached the last 16 there. A short paragraph at the end of an article on the ITF site about the return of Kamil Majchrzak to the circuit after a doping ban refers to the fact that he, Jake & Oleg Prihodko were the three male winnners of ITF titles last week & reads as follows:
Fearnley, 22, will play another ITF event in Loughborough this week before heading back to Texas for one more season of college tennis at Texas Christian University, before tackling professional tennis full-time.
Just a little more background, Jake is from Dalkeith (which Google reliably informs me is a town in Scotland close to Edinburgh)
He used to train at the Merchiston Castle tennis academy (and pronounces his name 'Fern-ley', in case it's not obvious, not Fear-nley)
Born in July 2001, he is one of our great 2001 cohort (Jack Draper, George Loffhagen, Anton M, Harry Wendelken.....it's always been a very strong group)
He got up to #27 in juniors - he beat Carlos Alcaraz 6-2 4-6 7-6(12)!!! in the final of a G2 event in 2018
I remember seeing him at Roehampton when he was 17 - got a great crack on the ball even then - real power
