the addict · Tennis legend

1. Rhys Lawlor (2009) - winning the singles title at the J100 in Greece. He's our #2 best player for the age (after Ceban) and this is his first title in 2025, and his best win ever

2 Mark Ceban (2009) - winning the singles AND the doubles title at the J200 in Spain. This equals his best wins ever, and will give him a big booster in ITF points

3 Mika Stojsavljevic - in a Tunisia W35 the 16 yo reached the singles final, beating 3 top 500 ranked seeds and losing to a 4th, plus won the doubles title. Moves her up to CHs of around 570 in singles and 760 in doubles.

4. Gordon Reid - won his biggest singles title in 7 years, at the series 1 tournament in Mallorca at the Rafa Nadal Academy, beating Gustavo Fernandez in the final. His previous title this year was at Series 2 level and his last Series 1 title was the Korean Open in 2018

5. April Sackflame - age 13.5 (born 2012), winning the J60 singles title a Loughborough, in her first ITF event. A graceful player, with a lot of natural skills, and one to watch

6. Brooke Black - winning the W35 doubles title in Week 41 in Darwin (her first professional title) at the age of 17. She also reached the final in Week 40
