The Northumberland Club in Newcastle played host once again to a successful British Tour event in August.
The event took place alongside the annual Adderstone Foundation Northumberland Open from 4-10 August and saw entries from all around the country and a fantastic amount of local players.
On the women's side, the final saw two Northumberland players, Amy Hoburn and Alex Walker take to the court. Amy did fantastically well on her way to the finals, beating players seeded above her including Nicole Peterson (number 1 seed) 6-3, 6-0 and number 5 seed Caitlin Hindmarsh 6-3, 7-6. Unfortauntely she couldn't quite match Alex this time, and she lost in the finals 6-3, 6-1. Alex is currently studdying at Bath University.
The men's final saw the number 5 seed Aaron Banasik take on unseeded Sebastian Rey. After a great battle, Aaron came out on top beating Sebastian 6-4, 6-3.
Congratulations to both winners!
