–

Only the true road warriors were at it the week before Christmas, with the ultimate roadie, Kelsey Stevenson, picking off the doubles title in Sharm El Sheikh after losing the final in a match tiebreak the previous week.

It takes a lot of resilience to keep at it, at this time of the year.

So serious kudos to him.
