Jack Pinnignton Jones claimed his second ATP Challenger title of the year in Winston Salem. Jack was in top form this week and didn’t drop a set all tournament. He clinched the title with a 6-2 6-2 victory over Trevor Svajda. Jack edges closer to a career high and we wish him well on his upcoming tournaments in Vegas.

Katie Swan has been on a roll in Australia with a 9 match winning streak. Katie picked up the title in the W35 event, defeating number one seed Lizette Cabrera 6-4 7-6(8) in the seemi-finals. In the final, Katie had a convincing 6-1 6-2 win over Australia’s Taylah Preston. The following week she reached a second final without dropping a set, however Taylah Preston got the win that time with a 6-4 7-6 (5) win. It has been fantastic to watch Katie’s comeback to the match court and most importantly enjoying her time on court injury free. Great job to Katie and her team!
