Tennis news: Jack Pinnington Jones – the British star looking to follow in Jacob Fearnley’s footsteps

Glancing at the current ATP rankings makes it plain that Britain has a preponderance of players (12) between positions No.50 and No.250 – something largely absent from those rankings a year ago, when just half that number were GB athletes. 

The man now at world No.138 is very much a part of that strength in depth and could not be found this time last year even if one scanned as low as No.350. His name is Jack Pinnington Jones.

Here, Sports News Blitz’s tennis writer AJ Becker takes a look at the latest rising star.
