Sam Ferguson and Jay Clarke

Sam Ferguson and Jay Clarke added another title to their growing collection this week when they added the 14&U Doubles title at the National Championships at the City of Nottingham Tennis Centre.

The top seeded duo from Derbyshire enjoyed a comfortable passage through to the semi final but then came through a hard fought match against Will Davies and Dominic West 7-5 6-4. In the final they faced fifth seeds Vincent Gillespie and Callum Macgeoch, and triumphed 6-2 6-3 to claim the title.

In the 14&U singles, top seed Jay will play Marcus Walters from Nottingham in the final later on today. Marcus had defeated second seed Sam in a very close semi final on Thursday.

The doubles title is the continuation of a great year for Jay and Sam after they were part of the team that won the Tennis Europe 14&U Cup earlier in the year, as well as winning a host of other European events.
