15-year-old Anya Holdsworth was the surprise ladies’ singles victor on an exhilarating day of tennis at the Ramsbury Tennis Club finals day.

Last year’s ladies' singles champion Annabel Mackay squared off again against 15-year-old Anya Holdsworth in a rematch to defend her title.

Mackay’s profuse talent earned her the first set 6-4, but the youngster was not to be deterred and she overcame the more experienced Mackay 6-4 to force the championship tiebreak.

A decider in such a neck-and-neck contest was always likely to come down to one slip. At crunch time, Holdsworth edged out a hard-fought 11-9 tiebreak victory. This was competitive tennis of the highest calibre with an outcome that could easily have gone either way.

“It’s surreal, I’m overwhelmed,” said the unassuming new young champion after the trophy presentation.

Last year’s runner-up Matt Fretwell played 13-year-old county phenomenon Andrew Luo in the men’s singles.

The first set was a highly contested battle, with the formidable Luo demonstrating the skill and athleticism that have earned him widespread acclaim. His aggressive baseline play kept Fretwell on his toes. Yet by minimising errors and consistently of return, Fretwell fashioned out the first set 6-4.

Fretwell’s experience shone through even more prominently in the second set. While Luo continued to impress with his speed and shot-making, Fretwell’s ability to outlast rallies proved decisive, securing him a convincing 6-1 win to win the men’s title.

In the men’s doubles, David Langton teamed up with Sam Viravong against Chris Procter and Karl Stacey in a match of exceptional quality.

After winning the first set 6-2, Langton and Viravong faced a daunting deficit in the second with their opponents refusing to yield. On the verge of falling to 1-4, the pair mounted a dramatic comeback. Langton and Viravong powered on to win the set 6-4 in a stunning display of resilience to be crowned men’s doubles champions.

Mackay then teamed up with Clive Snashall against David Langton and Stephanie Hart. The first set saw Langton and Hart dominate with powerful serves and strategic net play without dropping a game to comfortably win 6-0. Despite a slight second set rally, Langton and Hart held their nerve to win the game in straight sets.

The ladies doubles final again featured sisters Clare Allman and Jane McGovern against reigning champions Annabel Wade and her 12-year-old daughter Olivia.

The sisters narrowly defeated the Wades 7-6 in the first set. Riding the wave, Allman and McGovern retained their composure in the second, triumphing 6-3 to dethrone the champions.
