Year 8’s Harry and Lucas, seeded 3 and 8 respectively, faced one another in this year’s championship match. The tournament this year was over-subscribed and both boys had to fight off some talented competitors on their way to the final.
The sun was out on what was the hottest day of the year so far and passing clouds provided the occasional much needed relief.
Harry’s opening service game was by far the longest of the tournament lasting nearly 15 minutes with many deuces. Lucas broke in that opener but Harry’s serve proved too powerful in the games that followed. Lucas’ shots became more accurate as the match progressed but Harry was the stronger player on the day and went on to have a 6-2 victory.
We also had a special Champions game with last year’s finalists Emma and Rebecca. Click ‘continue reading’ to find out the result from that match.
Their shots were just as precise and as full of finesse as they were last year and the 6-0 scoreline does not reveal how well both girls played.
Miss Said would like to thank all competitors for a fantastic championship. She would also like to give a special thank you to the ball boys and girls who helped out this year. See you in 2017 for another enthralling top tennis tournament.
