FRINTON, Great Britain – University of North Florida men's tennis' Jack Findel-Hawkins had an impressive showing at the Great Britain F14 Futures Tournament held at Frinton LTC. Findel-Hawkins advanced to the doubles final and reached the main draw in the singles competition.
"It's great to see Jack having some success this summer," said UNF head coach Mark Finnegan. "These future tournaments are a mix of the elite college players and professional players. Jack had a great freshman year last season and learned a lot. I know he is planning to play in a few more events and hopefully that will create some great momentum heading into our fall season."
In the doubles competition, Findel-Hawkins teamed with Toby Mitchell in order to make the championship match on Friday. The duo captured their first round match after Alexander Jhun and Stefan Sterland-Markovic retired. Findel-Hawkins and Mitchell were up 6-1, 4-1. In the quarterfinals, the pair powered past Adam Skalsky and Mark Whitehouse 6-3, 6-2. Findel-Hawkins and Mitchell used a three-set 7-6 (7), 3-6, 10-4 semifinal victory over Myles Orton and Neil Pauffley to propel them into the finals. Findel-Hawkins and Mitchell fell just short in the finals, dropping the first set 6-4 to George Coupland and David Rice before retiring from the match.
In singles play, Findel-Hawkins went 3-0 in the qualifying draw in order to move on to the main draw. He rallied for a 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (5) victory over Marshall Tutu in Round 1. Findel-Hawkins took a 6-4, 6-3 win over Matthew Kirby in the second round. He finished the qualifying draw with another three-set victory in Round 3. Findel-Hawkins held on for a 7-6 (6), 1-6, 7-5 triumph over Joshua Paris to make the event's main draw. Singles competition came to an end for Findel-Hawkins in the first round as Keelan Oakley took a 6-7 (3), 6-2, 7-5 win.
Findel-Hawkins had an outstanding freshman season at UNF last season. He was named the Atlantic Sun's Freshman of the Year and earned First-Team All-Conference and All-Freshman Team honors. He was nationally ranked in doubles with Norbert Nemcsek for much of the season, ending the year ranked No. 48. Findel-Hawkins and Nemcsek earned a bid to the NCAA Doubles Championship where the pair upset No. 1 Yannick Hanfmann and Ray Sarmiento of Southern California 6-4, 6-1 in the first round.
