"Congratulations also to our Ladies Winner Esther Adeshina, who picked you the title earlier in the event, playing 5 matches over 3 days in Cardiff - she picks up the winners cheque and $25k Wild-card next month!"
"Congrats @FelixGill11 on a big Progress Tour debut here in @CMetTennis - coming through some tough battles to scoop the £1,000 Winners cheque & $25k WC."
Ok, not in Britain but run by a largely British academy in Spain, this week (27 - 30 Oct) sees the UTR Progress Tour event in Spain at Soto.
1000 euros for the winner.
63 players, 20 different nationalities.....
There aren't many names there that I recognise, but players such as Jonny Binding and Dan Bennett stand out, as well as a couple of youngsters such as Charlie Penman
There is a really enjoyable podcast called "what are you talking about Willis" with Marcus Willis and David Earl - they then have special guests each week and talk about various tennis topics. Last week they had Barry Fulcher on to talk about the Progress Tour and the reason why he started it etc. Very worth having a listen to.
(I interpret the title of this thread to the UTR events in UK and UTR events abroad where UK players are playing. Hope that's OK with others, doesn't seem worth setting up a specific thread, they seem to go together)
Anyway:
Max Andrews is playing in the UTR tournament in Barcelona
Yesterday he beat Vasil Dimitrov, ATP 1812, in two sets
