Players from Cardiff, Wrexham, Swansea, Newport, Vale of Glamorgan, Caernarfon and Bangor were among the winners at the Welsh Tennis Championships.
The event was hosted on Wrexham Tennis Centre’s indoor and outdoor courts and sponsored by Gap Personnel.
In all, over 150 players took part in the competition, with events for 8-and-under to adults.
“This is one of the key events in Welsh tennis and we were delighted to introduce the Wheelchair Competition this year,” said Tennis Wales chief executive, Peter Drew. “The championships showcase leading players across the age groups, and the standard of competition is very high.
“It’s really inspiring to see such burgeoning talent on show.”
Lucy Scott, general manager, Wrexham Tennis Centre said:
“We were thrilled to host the 2017 Welsh Junior Championships. With over 150 players from across Wales taking part, we made sure it was a fun-packed week as well as being competitive. Together with our new head chef, we put on a curry and quiz night and a BBQ which proved really popular with players and families. The icing on the cake for us was congratulating Wrexham winners Sam Morris, Megan Davies and Owen Critchell. We look forward to welcoming the Championships back to Wrexham in a couple of years.”
