A decent-ish crowd for the men's final - well done to Shrewsbury

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Very close first set.

Gray always slightly in the lead, but Harry with lots of chances. Finally took one. Back to 5-5

But then got broken and lost 5-7

Didn't see the second set.

But Ali G won 7-5 6-1

Congrats to both of them - great week - another super 25k title for Ali - and a pretty much dream week for young Harry too

Well done Ali , career best win as a week id say, after two titles in South Africa last year.

Career best week for Harry !

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Congrats to Anton and Josh P who get the doubles title this week

Shame for Harry to lose two finals in a day.

But amazing to be in two 25k finals in the first place.

(Pleased for Josh P, though - and if brother Adam (?) ever comes on here still - all the best and congrats to the Paris family !)

Well done to all

Delighted to see Ali G doing so well.

Also great to see so many other GB players performing well and picking up points. These home tournaments seem to be a good idea, don't they. Well, who would have known it.
