Vaughn Wil­son won his third men's ti­tle at the Sun­shine Snacks Tran­quil­i­ty Open Ten­nis Tour­na­ment on Sat­ur­day, and it came eas­i­er than he ex­pect­ed.

Hav­ing won the ti­tles back in 2021 and 2022, Wil­son faced top-seed An­drew Thorn­ton of Bar­ba­dos in the fi­nal at the Tran­quil­i­ty Courts on Vic­to­ria Av­enue in Port-of-Spain, and in un­der two sets, Wil­son was hand­ed the ti­tle. He claimed the open­ing set 6-1 and was ahead in the sec­ond set when Thorn­ton re­tired.

Thorn­ton, whose wife Lee-Anne Thorn­ton had won the triple crown (women's sin­gles, women's dou­bles, mixed dou­bles), was hop­ing to re­ceive his sec­ond ti­tle af­ter he com­bined with his wife for the mixed dou­bles crown.

But things didn't go ac­cord­ing to plan.

He had a de­cent run in the tour­na­ment with a 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 tri­umph over Ke­shan Moonasar in the semi­fi­nal round, tak­ing him to Sat­ur­day's fi­nal.
