Our summer tournament involved over 80 matches being played in mid-July. The mens singles had an entry of 45 and resulted in a first-time win for Daryl Eaton who defeated Henry Brooks by 6-2, 6-4 in the final. The closest final was in the ladies singles where Christa Gecheva regained the title with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 victory against our Head Coach Kim Freebairn. Kim won her fourth successive ladies doubles when in partnership with Jacinta Gunn she defeated Jo Barkey and Colette Mahieu by 6-0, 6-3. The mens doubles was a win for Dham Ekanayake and Amit Mohindra who defeated the giant-killing combo of Tim Barkey and Martyn Lunn by 7-5, 6-0. In the final match of the day Kim was again successful when partnered by Ashley Balm she defeated Christa Gecheva and Paul West by 6-3, 6-3. This provided Ashley Balm with his 32nd Wilton tournament title. To mark this achievement (which equals Bert Harrington all-time record total of Wilton wins) Ashley was presented with the Bert Harrington Plaque.
