Team Bath MCTA tennis player Samantha Murray has won the Aegon GB Pro-Series Glasgow title.
The victory marks the first Challenger event title for a Team Bath tennis player.
In the final, 25 year-old Murray defeated seventh seed Alison Van Uytvanck of Belgium 6-3, 2-6, 6-3 to win her first ever title at a Futures level.
On her way to the final, unseeded Murray recorded some impressive wins over second seeded Romanian Cristina-Andreea Mitu, whom she beat in straight sets 6-1, 6-0 and fifth seeded Lithuanian Stephanie Vogt.
