On Fearnley's meteoric rise.
Thought Jake now deserved his own thread and have moved posts across.
Jake is playing in the Canberra challenger. Playing in the second round against J Trotter starting 11.30 pm tonight.
Thanks Cazza. I'm going to try and watch this.
Good win for Jake today in Stockholm! He beat the number 5 seed Tallon Griekspoor in 3 sets.
certainly a boost for Jacob, will face Ymer next.
