Francesca Jones: Briton beats Anouk Koevermans to win second Challenger Title

Advertisements

Briton Francesca Jones claimed her second Challenger Tour title in dominant fashion with a 6-3 6-2 win against Anouk Koevermans in Palermo.

The 24-year-old will climb into the world’s top 100 for the first time when the new rankings are released on Monday.

Bradford-born Jones lost in the first round at Wimbledon earlier this month but has since won successive Challenger Tour events on clay.

She broke her Dutch opponent to lead 5-3 and then served out to take the opening set.

Jones carried that momentum into the second and broke again in the opening game, before going up a double break at 4-1 and sealing the success.

She reached her first WTA semi-final in 2023 but struggled to build on that run and has never been beyond the first round at a Grand Slam event.
