THE tennis was as hot as the weather on club finals day at Malvern’s Manor Park.

A day-long marathon of events started at 9am with the last mixed match finishing after 8.30pm.

There was some high-quality play in all age groups with the men’s singles being an epic match as Paul Burgess just won through 6-4 in the third set against Seb Timmermans.

Last year’s result in the ladies’ singles was reversed with Ellie Fleming defeating former champion Pippa Lewis in the final.

In the junior events, the Lewin family scored a double with Katie taking the 15 and under title and Sally winning the 10 and under green event.

Club coach Chris Skinner again managed to take the mixed doubles crown with Nicola Clarke in a close battle for the last match of the day.

Meanwhile, the four-day junior summer tennis camps started on Monday and take place every week up until August 22, excluding the week of July 22 when the club host the grade three bottle green tournament with a large entry in all age groups.
