Jor­dane Dook­ie cre­at­ed a ma­jor up­set to be crowned the women’s sin­gles cham­pi­on of the Sun­shine Snacks Tran­quil­li­ty Open fi­nal at the Vic­to­ria Av­enue courts on Sat­urday.

Mean­while, a clear­ly dom­i­nant Joseph Cado­gan, who has proven to be a cut above the rest in the lo­cal ten­nis, se­cured the men’s sin­gles ti­tle.

Fif­teen-year-old Dook­ie, who went in­to the match as the third-ranked play­er, used the ex­pe­ri­ence gar­nered from her many in­ter­na­tion­al out­ings, to up­set the top-seed­ed El­la Car­ring­ton in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3.

The win en­sured Dook­ie a clean sweep of the ti­tles, hav­ing won the women’s dou­bles with Cameron Wong last week, as well as the mixed dou­bles with for­mer na­tion­al stand­out Shane Stone.

Cado­gan, who is based in the Unit­ed States, took an ear­ly first-set ad­van­tage, 6-1 against sixth-ranked Richard Chung in the fi­nal and lat­er sealed the win with a 6-2 tri­umph in the sec­ond set on court two.

The vet­er­ans’ men’s sin­gles was al­so de­cid­ed yes­ter­day, with sec­ond-ranked Richard Mc Letchie de­feat­ing Bri­an Jack­son in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3, on court three.
