Jubb continues winning ways in good week for Brits
Paul Jubb was one of three British men to win on the ITF World Tennis Tour this week as the 21-year-old picked up a second title in as many weeks at M25 Sintra.
Jubb, who defeated Spain’s Alejandro Moro Canas 6-0 6-2 in the final, didn’t drop a set en route to his fourth title of the year and now has a 10-match winning streak thanks to back-to-back titles in Portugal.
There was more good news for British tennis, with victories for Alistair Gray at M25 Johannesburg and Ryan James Storrie at M15 Sozopol, but Felix Gill fell to Argentina's Alejo Lorenzo Lingua Lavellen at M15 Ulcinj.
Brazil’s Gilbert Klier Junior, a former Youth Olympic bronze medallist, picked up his second World Tennis Tour title of the year with a 6-2 6-2 victory over Joao Lucas Reis da Silva at M25 Medellin.
Tristan Schoolkate of Australia notched a first career title at M25 Plaisir, defeating Alexandre Reco 6-4 7-5 in the final.
At M25 Madrid, 18-year-old Luca Nardi of Italy overcame Germany’s Louis Wessels 7-5 6-2 to pick up his second title of the year.
USA’s Martin Damm, who is looking to follow in the footsteps of his former tennis playing father, Martin Damm Sr, took a step in the right direction when the 17-year-old scored his first title of his young career. Damm reached a career-high junior ranking of No. 3 in the world.
There were also wins for Australia’s Li Tu at M15 Monastir, Argentina’s Leonardo Aboian at M15 Cairo and Hungary’s Fabian Marozsan at M15 Zlatibor.
