This time around, under-nine and ten mixed single tournaments were staged at Chichester’s dome facility. The nine-and-under competition was staged as a round-robin format. There were four qualifying groups of three in each, which then lead to a compass draw. Every competitor at this age level played five games, with all matches championship tie-breaks to ten, with two points clear. Pavilion & Avenue’s Henry Hughes won gold, overcoming home player Jamie Holligon 10-7 in the final. The under-ten competition was organised as a compass draw format of eight players. Each match was a first-to-four game set, with a match tie-break to ten points, if required. Freddie Whitby sealed a rampant 4-0, 4-0 final victory over Joseph Robinson. Court supervisor Mat Worden was pleased with how the competition went and said: “It was a truly fantastic effort from all the competitors, with tennis of an extremely high standard and played in an excellent spirit. Congratulations to everyone involved.” Don’t miss out on all the latest breaking sports news where you live.
