Stuart continues his domination over Charles. Good week for the lad.

Youve mentioned the CNGT before and I found this, which i think is the current rankings for the autumn/winter league/calendar

I noticed Arthur Fery heads it up, which is good - but also noticed that Arthur seems to be clearly notated as French!!

Do the FFT regard Arthur as French or does "French" mean something different in this context?

More widely, not seen much of Arthur recently, any ideas on generally how he is doing? Post Wimbledon, where he did well before losing in 5 sets round one, he has played a Challenger in Spain, M25 Roehampton (semis) and M25H in Plaisir (semis again) but hasnt played since mid September.

 He may for whatever reason be playing under the GB moniker but Arthur is French.  His parents along with Art himself were born in France.  He is a French as French cheese, as French as the Eifell Tower.

Arthur grew up in London

He went to school in the UK, in Wimbledon, and he speaks English like a native, well, like any Wimbledon posh school native kid

It's true he was born in France, and his parents are French but I think he's a pretty good example of a person who easily fits under either heading

I assume he has both passports (he'd be mad not to) so I guess the FFT are happy to list him as French (as ITF affiliation is not the determing factor for domestic French competition but I'm not exactly sure what the rules are).

Arthur won the CNGT Salon du Provence in September, which is why he's currently in the lead, despite only playing one event

The newspaper article about the event refers to Arthur twice as 'franco-brittanique' - which seems sort of fair

No joy for Stuart, despite serving for the second set in the tie break

Still a good week for Stuart and overall a good few weeks for the British players in the domestic events
