Brilliant!!! I had to go out part way through the second set.
I wonder when we last had a British WTA winner and British ATP winner on the same day!!!!

The answer appears to be 18 April 1971 (Roger Taylor and Ann Jones).

Katie and Andy won Nottingham last year.

No Alex didn't fly over afterhis win. This is what Katie said about him:-

"My boyfriend didn't make the trip even though I thought he might after his win in Hertogenbosch but yeah we'll have to be talking about that tonight and see if we're going to be still together, I don't know, but I hope he's going to be listening to this because we've got some talking to do!"

Oh dear!! Poor Alex, he's probably exhausted too.

Yes, true. But the question was prompted by having 2 British winners today, so the same thing that happened today was no later than this event last year.

My original question was actually prompted by Katie (WTA) and Jack (ATP) both winning today, not by having two British winners in Nottingham, which, as has been pointed out, happened last year. I should probably have specified ATP as opposed to challenger!

Jan, you did say ATP winner and WTA winner, and I took it to mean exactly that. It's an amazing stat.

Right question. And two right answers !

I think that was a great win for Katie. She is playing so consistently now and genuinely looks a top 32 player now - hope she can make the jump to the top 16 and have a really successful Wimbledon. I agree with others about her skipping Birmingham - I think she should look at playing one of Birmingham or Eastbourne and give her self some rest.

This quote though alarms me. The worst thing anyone in the public eye can do is make quotes to journalists about the status of their private lives - if she wants a relationship with Alex to work, then better to communicate it with him privately, rather than doing it through the media. Who knows what has happened to them, but talking in public like this is unlikely to help matters.

Anyway a great tournament for Katie and good news that Emma gave her such a hard fought match yesterday and today - bodes well for both of them for the rest of the year and Wimbledon in particular. Hope as well that Fran's shoulder injury isn't serious.

I didn't actually hear her say all that - it was quoted on the BBC sports pages. I'm sure it was all said in jest as a reference to when they both won titles at the same time at the end of February when he did jump on a plane.
