Broom beats strong British field to defend Nottingham title

After finishing runner-up at the event the week prior, Charles Broom made it second time lucky in Nottingham after securing the M25 title.

Broom had just fallen short to George Loffhagen in the Nottingham final the week before, but carried the momentum into the second week where he successfully defended his title - marking his first trophy of the year.

During his run to the title, the top seed defeated three fellow Brits in Finn Murgett, Mark Whitehouse and Alastair Gray before capping off a memorable week with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Fabrizio Andaloro. 

The title signifies the 27-year-old’s sixth ITF title of his career.

There was also success in the men’s doubles, with Liam Hignett and James MacKinlay coming through a stacked British draw.

The pair dropped just one set across the week in their semi-final clash against Millen Hurrion and Harry Wendelken, with the third seeds coming through a tight battle, 1-6, 7-6(4), 11-9.

From there, they went on to claim a convincing 6-4, 6-0 victory over fellow Brits Finn Murgett and James Story to seal their second doubles title together.

Meanwhile at the women’s W35 event, Naiktha Bains finished runner-up in both the singles and doubles draw.

The former Wimbledon doubles quarter-finalist had teamed up with compatriot Holly Hutchinson for the doubles draw, where they were narrowly beaten in the match deciding tie-break against Alice Robbe and Arlinda Rushiti, 3-6, 6-4, 10-5.

Bains also embarked on a breakthrough week in the singles, reaching her second ITF final of the year. The 27-year-old had to bypass fellow countrywomen Mika Stojsavljevic and Emily Appleton to secure her spot in the final where she was pipped to the silverware by Spanish star Eva Guerrero Alvaraz 6-2, 7-6(7).
