Cheltenham tennis coach Steve Evans reached his second ITF Seniors tournament final of the season in August in the Grade 2 South of England Championships at sun-soaked Eastbourne.
Playing on the second show court, Steve, who coaches at East Glos Club, fought hard but was eventually beaten 6-3, 6-4 to Vince Gray but was happy with the performance against a player who has won numerous GB Seniors singles titles. In the semi-final Steve recorded his best win against a top player when he beat Tony King 6-4, 6-0, some measure of revenge for a three-set defeat in the final at St George's Hill earlier in the month.
