Lord, what gritty, going-for-it tennis

Jake played a really clutch third set - even after missing a few sitters, that had him tearing his hair out

Nix · Futures level

I can't believe he won that! Kept having to come back. But gutsy. Such a good experience to win a match like that.

Final: Jacob Fearnley WR 206 vs Coleman Wong (HKG) WR 171

Tanaqui · Club Coach

Didn't get a chance to watch that (and it looks like it was a weird match from the score) but great work from Jake to tough out that final set. Well done!

Marvellous, well done Jake. Looking forward to seeing how the final pans out for him!

Jake is up to 182 live rankings. And 148 in the live race. One more win and he will pass Evo and almost be equal to Andy, who is still in the list for now.

Wow quite the strange score line but great win.

Cant believe how quickly hes storming up the rankings.

Cracking win

Big shout-out to the Accelerator Programme for US college students that Jake said made all this possible, in his mind, and to the LTA for giving him those wildcards - being able to jump-start your career is so important - he's now really up and running. And just doing great

Mervatron2 · Challenger qualifying

Watched is from 5-3 in the first.

Very solid from Jacob.

Great to see him win another challenger.

Tanaqui · Club Coach

Well done, Jake! Wasn't able to watch the last few games of the match, but there was some lovely play in the part I did watch. (From Wong, too. He wasn't a pushover.)

Jumping another 40 or so places up the rankings, I think, and his record in Challengers is now played 3, won 2 titles and reached the semi-final in the other one.

Superb

Up to live ranked 162 from just 10 counters,, GB #5, just behind Andy who he will certainly pass when Andy's US Open points drop off even if Andy is still on the rankings list. Live race 137.
