Thursday, September 15, 2011

Britain's Lucy Shuker and Louise Hunt won the women's singles and doubles titles at the Tennis Canada International Wheelchair Tennis Championships in Montreal on Sunday.

British No. 1 and second seed Shuker held off a strong challenge from South African fourth seed Kgothatso Montjane to retain the women's singles title in Montreal after a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 victory.

Later in the day Shuker paired up with British No. 3 Hunt, who was playing her first ever tournament in North America, as the second seeds defeated American Shelby Baron and Montjane 6-1, 6-1 in the doubles final.

"It's always very satisfying to win back-to-back singles and doubles titles at any tournament, so with just under a year to go to the London 2012 Paralympics I'm very happy with the results this week," said world No. 10 Shuker. "It's also the second ITF 2 Series doubles title of the season for me and Louise. I hope I can take the momentum into the rest of the season now."
