Exciting tennis
A prolonged third set tiebreaker which went to 20 points provided an exciting climax to the 18 years boys’ doubles at the Coca-Cola Easter tennis tournament at Wilding Park. The favourites, Greg Young and John Honeywell, eventually wore down Jeffrey Brightwell and Hamish Jamieson to win by 11 points to nine. Brightwell gained revenge over Young when he combined with Lani Ratana to win the mixed doubles in the same age group. The top seeds, Young and Rachel Wilson, gained only
three games in the match. The third-seeded Andrew Batie recovered from a first set deficit to beat Scott Hanna, seeded third, in the 16 years boys’ singles final. The favourite, Matthew Granger, failed to survive the quarter-finals. Results were:— 18 years. — Boys’ doubles: G. Young and J. Honeywell beat J. Brightwell and H. Jamieson, 6-4, 2-6, 7-6. Mixed doubles: Brightwell and L. Ratana beat Young and R. Wilson, 6-0, 6-3. 16 years. — Boys’ singles: A Batie beat S. Hanna, 2-6, 7-6’ 6-2.
