Imso happy I did.I was not really thinkingabout last year, Maria said. I tried to concentrate, to play point by point. I was really happy that I was able to stay aggressive.Fearnley rode momentum through Fearnley andthe fourth-seededWaltonwerethe third match on the stadium court and stayed out in the sun forconsiderably longerthan expected. Walton used a late break to take the opening set and raced to a 5-1 lead in the second before the bottom fellout. He was broken twice whileattemptingto serve it out and eventually missed another chance with a 7-6 lead in the tiebreaker.You just relax you think youre almost going home, Fearnley said. Yourethinking, Youve had a good week. And then things connect.Fearnley and Walton traded winners to 8-8 before Walton collected his fifth double fault of the afternoon. It was a third set point for Fearnley, and he drew evenwhen Walton sent a forehand return long. Each player entered the deciding set having won 80 points, but the momentum felt squarely on Fearnleys side.I was making a few mistakes, but myfeelingon the ballwasgood, Fearnley said. I felt, Why not? You have a swing, and then an hour lateryourecompeting for the title.Fearnley sent a backhand up the line to break Walton early in the third and eventually built a 4-1 lead. Thistime it wasWalton chasing, and Fearnley netted a forehand on break point to put the match back on serve at 4-3. Walton and Fearnley traded holds before Fearnley cashed in on the only match point he needed, as Walton sent a forehand long to end it.I was just happy to be there, Fearnley said. I told myself to stay calm and enjoy it.Fearnley reached the second round in London thanks to a five-set rally past Alex Michelsen in the opening round. He was down two sets before stunning the eventual No. 2 seed in the field here. Fearnleyjoined big-serving left-hander Greg Rusedski as the second man from Great Britain to win a singles crown here and is the first Challenger player to save as many as six match points since 2011.You see people having amazing weeks out of nowhere all the time and people coming back from deficits all the time, Fearnley said. Thatsthe beauty of the sport andthatswhat makes sports exciting especially tennis.Maria remained in commandMaria needed no such rally while adding Newport to a runner-up finishlast month at Eastbourne and a 2025 title at Queens Club.The fields No. 2 seedjumped to a 4-0 lead and needed just 39 minutes to secure the opening set. Maria stayed in command throughout the second as well, clinching the match when Volynets went long on break point.At the end it got pretty tight she was playing better and moreaggressive, Maria said. Im really happy with my win.Maria had lost her last three meetings against Volynets, including a February final on an indoor hard court in Czechiaagainst the No. 3 seed here. This was a first career final on the grass for Volynets, whodropped her first 11 points on second serve and struggledthroughout fromthe line. Maria used an array of slices and drop shots off both wings to keep her opponent guessing throughout.I think my game fits perfectly on the grass, Maria said.Theslices, theystay low. I can go to thenet.Imserving well.Itsareally nice few weeksfor me.Doubles champions crownedFinn Reynolds and James Watt planted a flag for New Zealand in the morning mens doubles match, rolling in the opening set and navigating the tight moments late to post a 6-1, 6-7 (2), 10-6 win over Fernando Romboli and John-Patrick Smith.Reynolds and Watt are the first pairing from their country to lift the crown and join Brian Fairlie (withIsmail El Shafei,1977),Brett Steven(with Gianluca Pozzi,1991, andJustin Gimelstob,1997) andArtem Sitak(with Jonathan Erlich,2018) among doubles champions from New Zealand.
