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.

The 23-year-old from Edinburgh beat Frenchman Harold Mayot, who had gone into the tournament one place above in 125th in the world, 6-3 7-6 to win the Orleans Open.

Having taken the first set, the Scot then won a second-set tie-break 7-5.

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.

Having started the year outside the world’s top 600, he has since also won titles in Nottingham, Lincoln (USA) and Rennes and will be ranked 98th in the world when the rankings are updated on Monday.
