It's been another busy for week for Grantees, past and present, and we've been delighted to see so many getting back on court again, especially on home turf.

Jack Pinnington Jones had a great week in Egypt when he reached the final of the ITF 15K event in Cairo.

Present Grantee, Mattias Southcombe has had a terrific few weeks and last week he reached the final of the J3 ITF junior doubles event indoors in Istanbul, with his partner Charlelie Cosnet from France.

There was victory for the Great Britain Billie Jean King Cup team, as they beat Mexico 3-1 in their cup tie at the NTC over the weekend.

It's been another busy week for our Grantees, both overseas and at home.

Liam Broady continued his impressive run this season, by qualifying for the Miami Open and also the Sardinia Open (where he has just won his first round match today), resulting in a new career high of 152.

Jodie Burrage took her fourth ITF title this week, when she won the Al Habtoor W25 Singles event in Dubai, beating Juliya Hatouka 6-4, 6-3 in the final.

We were delighted and proud to see that Anne Keothavong has included four Tennis First alumni in her Billie Jean King Cup squad (formerly Fed Cup) to face Mexico in April.

Former Grantee, Liam Broady, did incredibly well to qualify for the Miami Open after winning two three-set matches in qualifying.
