Summer Tournament 2007 Finals Results

Tuesday, 24 July 2007

There were many similarities between this summer's Wilton club tournament and the other one held earlier in the month at our slightly larger neighbouring club. We too struggled with the weather. Even on Finals Day rain caused players to come and go off court. Spectators became frustrated and there was talk of extending to a third week! We also had a defending champion who held off a determined challenger in the best mens singles final for years. For Federer and Nadal-read Balm and Brooks!Special congratulations to Ashley for his 25th title in club tournaments. Our equivalent of Jamie and Jelena were the untried pairing of Dham and Kim who came back from set and 5-2 down to defeat the established pairing of Ashley and Jeanne in a thrilling last set tie break.

Results:
Ladies Singles: Jacinta Gunn bt Jeanne Vermaak 6-3, 6-2

Mens Singles: Ashley Balm bt Henry Brooks 6-1, 4-6, 7-5
