This is Brooke's best singles title, she previously had a J60 and two J30s

It will be her biggest counter, and add 70 net new points

For Luke, he's having a stellar year

This is his third J100 title

His lowest counter is a 20

But he's got a 60 coming off in early April so it effectively will be 40 net new points


 Congrats to both! Remind me, Brooke is related to Byron/Wayne/Cara Black in some way, isnt she?

Yes. Daughter of Wayne Black (so niece of Cara) and tennis pro mum too.

"Wayne Black, who is married to his sister Caras former doubles partner, Kazakhstan-born Irina Selyutina, believes it is the duty of parents to raise their kids into professional players."

This is their lives work, apparently

I saw Brooke play live earlier this year. She's very well taught (as you'd expect) - very dynamic (unlike quite a few), has a nice fluid game, good acceleration, it's a good game of tennis

Whether it's enough to really stand out, I sort of doubt (it's part of the problem with kids who've been hothoused - they're fully priced, as you'd say) - but it's certainly a very good base, there's a lot to like, and things sometimes take off, it's certainly possible
