Well done to everyone for trying to get matches played for the club champiosnhip finals on Sunday. Three of the finals were played, so congratulations to the new champions/ commiserations to the losing finalists:
Ladies' Singles:
Katie Ellen beat Maria Smith 6-1, 6-3
Men's Doubles:
Yasser Malik & Harm Mescher beat Barnaby Trusler & Ed Thorn 6-3, 7-5
Mixed Doubles:
Katie Ellen & Christian Ward beat Eva Leung 7-5, 2-6, 6-3 (I think?)
Well done to all the champions, the finals were all played at an extremely high standard this year.
The other two finals will have to be played at a later date:
Ladies' Doubles:
Katie Ellen & Lisa Woods v Kirsty Fuller & Lauren Allen (will be played at the end of the summer, date tbc, due to travel plans of all players)
Men's Singles:
Jovy Sarjeant to play either Barnaby Trusler or Ed Thorn (who will play their semi final on Wednesday 17th July, 7.30pm)
And, on an extremely wet evening, another Coaching Players Tournament took place. Unlike Wimbledon who closed all the outside Courts (admittedly they are grass!) 10 stalwarts turned up to play in the rain.
Great competitive tennis - a Tournament which was eventually won by Elias Efthimiou, closely followed by Joint Second Leonie Orhan and Chris Quinn. Joint 3rd Benji Caplin and Miro Kalra.
Well done everyone - especially considering the weather !
