A beautiful April day
brought a good number of members to watch what may have been one of Wilton's
best ever finals days. There were three closely contested three setters
including an epic three hour duel between Shervin Nejand and Martyn Lunn in the
Mens 45's. Both open singles titles changed hands by virtue of superb
performances by Christa Gecheva and Peter Schlamberger. Ashley Balm made amends
for his singles loss by claiming his twenty-fifth Wilton title when partnering
Jeannne Vermaak to a narrow victory against Andrea Salinitro and Kim Freebairn
in the last match of an excellent day's tennis.
