The 2016 FInals Weekend at Teddington LTC on September 3rd and 4th was another success, with large crowds descending to watch some high-quality tennis across more than 30 competitions.
Jenny Marlow swept the board, winning the Ladies' Singles, Ladies' Doubles with Geri Cummins, and Mixed Doubles with Zino Arbane.
Jenny won her first club championship by beating Geri in three sets in the singles, adding both doubles titles to confirm her place as best female player of 2016.
Jack Caso defended his Men's Singles title with a 6-1 7-6 win over Zino. At 23 and 17 years old respectively, this could be a long-lasting rivalry of contrasting styles.
Many expected the Men's Doubles Final to be a thrilling affair, but Anthony Mills and Tom Dixon raced into a 6-1 3-0 lead over Zino and Jamie Evans. However, Zino and Jamie came roaring back to win the second set and take the third to a tiebreak. The combination of Tom's power and Anthony's artistry saw them through in arguably the highlight of the weekend.
Elsewhere, Yuko Akagi won both the Ladies Singles Handicap and Ladies Doubles Handicap (with Sarah Calderwood), while Alex Maye picked up the Men's Doubles Handicap (with Gustav Durlind) and Mixed Doubles Handicap (with Alice White).
Zino and Gustav also cleaned up in the Junior events, while Anna Ferris-Simpson won an incredible four titles, including the Girls Under 18s singles.
Other stars of the future include Tom Randall and Shaw Simler, who won three and four titles each respectively, and Milana Simler, who added the award for Most Improved Player Under 16 to her two titles.
