Fearnley set for top 100 after fourth title of 2024
Scotland's Jacob Fearnley is set to break into the top 100 of the men's singles world rankings after winning his fourth title of the year on the Challenger tour.
Edinburgh-born Fearnley, 23, beat France's Harold Mayot 6-3 7-6 (7-5) to win the Orleans Open.
Having taken the first set, the 23-year-old then won a second set in a tie-break.
Fearnley recently graduated from Texas Christian University, and impressed at Wimbledon this summer, taking a set off seven-time winner Novak Djokovic in the second round before losing 6-3 6-4 5-7 7-5.
He had previously won titles in Nottingham, Lincoln (USA) and Rennes in 2024 and will be ranked 98th in the world when the rankings are updated on Monday.
