• 2 MINUTE READ
Five British players came away with singles titles on the ITF World Tennis Tour last week with standout performances across the globe. Catch up with all the latest.
Peniston, Monday & Crawford continue impressive form
In Portugal, former Queen’s Club quarter-finalist Ryan Peniston captured the eighth singles title of his career at the M25 Louie.
The British star – who battled back from a long-term injury at the end of last year – came through his first four matches without dropping a set before finishing with a 3-6, 6-1, 6-3 final win over second seed Chris Rodesch.
The title adds to a string run of form for the 29-year-old, with an ATP Challenger semi-final in Hersonissos and finals at the M25 Vila Real de Santo Antonio and Lexus GB Pro Series Sunderland already this year.
23-year-old Johannus Monday continues to pick up strong results on the ITF Tour, adding the M25 Bakersfield title to his ever-growing list of trophies.
The former No.1 ranked NCAA player defeated American Alex Rybakov in the final 6-2, 6-4 to seal the title.
Coming off the back of three consecutive M25 titles at the back end of last season, Monday’s triumph in Bakersfield adds a second trophy of his season so far (M25 Sunderland).
Oliver Crawford made it back-to-back titles in China last week at the M25 Shenzhen.
The 25-year-old Briton defeated China’s Yan Bai in the final 7-6(5), 1-6, 6-2 to extend his unbeaten run to 10 matches.
It’s the fifth ITF final he’s made so far this season, with three M25 titles to his name in 2025 alone.
Wendelken makes Toulouse breakthrough; Clarke’s spell in India brings second title
Harry Wendelken enjoyed his first title run for two years at the M25 Toulouse-Balma – the third ITF title of his career.
Wendelken had to come through qualifying – taking the match tie-break in his final qualifier against Mikail Alimli 14-12 – but once he reached the main draw, sailed to the final with four straight sets wins.
In his sixth match of the week against a French player, Wendelken came through the final against Mae Malige 6-7(6), 6-4, 7-5.
Jay Clarke’s run in India reached another level over the weekend as he secured his second singles titles in as many weeks.
Clarke – who has been competing out in India in various events during the last month – came away with another trophy after defeating second seed Alexandr Binda in the final 6-3, 7-6(4).
Baker & Allen headline doubles success
Blu Baker and American partner Andrew Fenty clinched the M25 Santo Domingo title last week – the fifth and biggest title of the Brits career.
The duo finished off the week with a 6-3, 6-4 win over third seeds Mateo Barreiros Reyes and Jesse Flores in the final.
24-year-old Victoria Allen lifted her first ITF title at the weekend at the W15 Sharm El Sheikh with American Carolyn Ansari.
Allen and Ansari beat fellow Brit Danielle Daley and Arina Gabriela Vasilescu in the final 6-2, 6-2.
Meanwhile, Lily Miyazaki finished runner-up in the W75 Maribor final alongside Jessika Ponchet. In the final they lost to Julie Belgraver and Urszula Radwanska 6-1, 6-4.
Emily Webley-Smith and Ekaterina Ovcharenko also ended as runners-up at the M15 Antalya to top seeds Daria Kuczer and Patricia Maria Tig 6-4, 6-2.
