THE 31st edition of our beloved tournament is now in the books.

Two weeks of very competitive tennis in eight categories ended on a high note as the men’s open singles final went to a deciding match tiebreak with Jyles Turnquest emerging victorious over Anthony Burrows Jr 7-6, 2-6, 10-4. That was preceded by the men’s junior vets doubles final where Bobby Chen and Johnnie Fong defeated Franklyn Williams and Paul Steinmyller 6-1, 7-5.

Following these finals, the closing ceremony was held with trophies and gift certificates presented to all finalists by Janelle Davis, representing the sponsor, AID.
