Anya King and Ce­line Ram­sumair shocked Em­ma Davis and Em­ma-Rose Tre­strail to win the girls Un­der-16 and Un­der-18 com­bined dou­bles ti­tle on the clos­ing day of the Catch Na­tion­al Ju­nior Cham­pi­onships at Nel­son Man­dela Park, St Clair, yes­ter­day.

Davis and Tre­strail were favourites to take the crown af­ter win­ning the girls U-18 dou­bles ti­tle last year. The de­fend­ing cham­pi­ons seemed set to cap­ture the ti­tle af­ter win­ning the first set 6-3. How­ev­er, King and Ram­sumair then bounced back to square the match af­ter snatch­ing the sec­ond set 6-4. In a marathon third set, King and Ram­sumair pre­vailed with an 11-9 vic­to­ry. Ear­li­er in the day, Davis got the bet­ter of King in the girls U-16 sin­gles fi­nal with a 6-2, 6-4 vic­to­ry.

Claim­ing two ti­tles on the fi­nal day was Aidan Carter. Carter, the top seed in the boys U-14 sin­gles, got past Aaron Chan in straight sets 6-4, 6-2 in the fi­nal. Carter then teamed up with Adam Ramkissoon to grab the boys U-14 dou­bles crown with a 6-3, 7-5 tri­umph over Ed­ward Laquis and Samuel West.

In a match which saw the top four girls U-14 sin­gles play­ers in ac­tion, Yin Lee As­sang and Vic­to­ria Koy­lass came out on top in the girls U-14 dou­bles fi­nal. Koy­lass and As­sang, who were ranked fourth and third re­spec­tive­ly in the sin­gles, de­feat­ed Lily Lanser and Jade Tom Yew 6-1, 6-3. Lanser was the top seed­ed sin­gles play­er, while Tom Yew was the sec­ond seed.
