Loffhagen & Broady amongst British singles winners
There was even more British success on the men’s ITF circuit, with two players emerging victorious in Europe.
It was a week to remember in Sweden for George Loffhagen, who picked up his fifth singles title of the season at the M25 Falun.
Loffhagen was a dominant force across the week, with the 24-year-old Brit easing to the trophy without dropping a set across any of his five matches. In the final, he put in another impressive performance against Finland’s Eero Vasa - winning 6-3, 6-3 to seal the title.
Over in Budapest, Liam Broady reached his second consecutive final on the ITF Tour and this time, came out on the winning side in the championship match.
Taking on home favourite Matyas Fuele in the final, Broady dropped just three games on his way to sealing a 6-2, 6-1 win.
This is the second title Broady has claimed in Budapest this season and third overall after he won the M15 Foggia event in March.
