PTA World Tour 250 - Sunday (Final) - Halle,
Germany - Grass

  • World No. 4 Sven Oxenstierna has broken through to claim his maiden grass title with a three-set win over eighth seed Carlo Amato. Effectively the top-seeded player in the Halle draw, the Ox faced a big test against the Italian who had been largely untroubled all week. In a tight first set, it was the West CWLander who drew first blood as some fine returning earned him an important break of service to take it 7-5. But where many of his opponents have slipped after dropping a set to the Ox, the in form Amato continued his good form and, despite being forced to save a number of break point chances, managed to claim the second set 7-5. With everything on the line in the third set, Amato and Oxenstierna started nervously with a number of uncharacteristic errors. Despite the few ranking points on offer, both players clearly had a lot to gain from victories and it was Amato who cracked first as he missed a backhand to hand Oxenstierna a 4-2 lead. That was enough for the second seed who clung onto his lead and took a title on a third surface 7-5, 5-7, 6-3.

  • Seeded players out:
    Carlo Amato.
  • In the men's doubles final, third seeds Ashim Kumar and Seby Kumar claimed the title with a 6-4, 6-7(6), [10-3] win over Belgian duo Roel Hervelle and Yves Parmentier.

  • Seeded players out: None.

AEGON Nottingham Challenge II
PTA World Tour 250 - Sunday (Final) - Nottingham,
United Kingdom - Grass

  • In the final of the AEGON Nottingham Challenge, East CWLand's Ishan Narang broke the drought of East CWLanders winning a tour title with a 7-5, 6-0 win over tenth seed Marco Pellegrini. No East CWLand player other than Jefferson Drake has won a title at any level since Roy Daniels in Campsfield in March of this season, and Narang was clearly under pressure early against the surprise packet from Italy. But after going down 0-3, Narang woke up and started to play some of the best tennis of the week as he confidently attacked the weak Pellegrini serve and took the set 7-5. It was an absolute cakewalk for Narang from there as he decisively broke immediately and then twice more to shut the Italian out of the second set to secure the title in convincing fashion.

  • Seeded players out:
    Marco Pellegrini.

Congrats to 'The Ox'.

Great to win yet another doubles title. That should give us some confidence going into Wimbledon.
