KEIGHLEY-born Jonny O'Mara is making waves in men's doubles.

Three weeks ago the 23-year-old world No 98 partnered Luke Bambridge to victory at the Surbiton Trophy, defeating Liverpool brothers Ken and Neil Skupski 7-6 (13-11) 4-6, 10-7.

That was their first victory at ATP Challenger Tour level.

Then last week the British wild cards held their nerve to defeat the Skupskis again to lift their first ATP World Tour title at the Nature Valley International in Eastbourne.

"It's been unbelievable," said world No 91 Bambridge. "We started playing together two months ago at a tournament in Mexico.

"We reached the final there, then continued the good form going into Surbiton.

"So we were feeling quietly confident going into the grass-court swing.

"To win eight matches in two tournaments is beyond what I ever dreamed of."

Bambridge and O'Mara, who is now living in Arbroath and is a former Stirling University student, recovered from 5-2 down in the first set of the Eastbourne final, saving four set points from 0-40 at 5-3.

They then broke in the seventh game of the second set.

It was the first all-British main tour doubles final since 2012, when Colin Fleming and Ross Hutchins beat Jamie Delgado and Ken Skupski, also at Eastbourne's Devonshire Park.

Bambridge and O'Mara, who beat top seeds Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah in the quarter-finals, were competing in their first ATP World Tour tournament.

The victors earned 250 ATP doubles rankings points and shared €35,830 in prize-money, while the Skupskis headed to Wimbledon with 150 points and €18,830.

Bambridge and O'Mara have been given wild cards into the men's doubles first round at Wimbledon, but have drawn experienced second seeds Lukasz Kubot (Poland) and Marcelo Melo (Brazil).

O'Mara tweeted on Monday: "Today is the first day of @Wimbledon and it is far better than Christmas Day."

Meanwhile, there was no joy in the Wimbledon qualifying last week for Keighley's Francesca Jones.

The 17-year-old from Oxenhope, who is world ranked 547, lost 6-4, 6-2 to fifth seed Nicole Gibbs of the United States at Roehampton.

Jones suffers from Ectrodactyly Ectodermal Dysplasia, more commonly known as EEC syndrome, and has undergone regular operations in order to continue playing tennis.

She was born with only three fingers and a thumb on her hands, and only seven toes on her feet.
