I remember I did a little writeup on Tom Farquharsson some time last year after seeing him at the British Tour event in Corby. I remember being very impressed actually, hes very tall for his age and had a decent serve but faded quite badly in the match I saw, going down to Matt Bright in 3 after taking the first. He was only 15 at the time though I think and he definitely has promise. Keeping a close eye on his progress!

So good to see Tom following up a good week at the first G4 with another one. It looks like these 2 could be chasing each other up the rankings which will be great.
