Anthony Grant captures Boys Under-12 category, Shavani Persaud is Girls winner
– as Nigel’s Junior Tennis Classic continues
As play in the Nigel’s Junior Classic continued over the weekend a number of winners were decided. Firstly, Anthony Grant, who did not lose any matches in the round robin format, proved to be too good for his opponent Jordan Beaton, who was considered the favorite in the category. Grant had an incredible performance as he displayed confidence in every match he played and was able to defeat Jordan Beaton.
Some of the participants involved in the tournament.
Beaton struggled in most of his matches but managed a good comeback against Keenan Persaud to win that encounter.
Another talented player in the final round was Hemraj Resaul, who played excellently but was unable to close out games and ended with only one win. Jordon Beaton captured the runner-up position by 1 point ahead of Hemraj Resaul.
In the Girl’s Under-12 category, talented Shavani Persaud was the winner for the second year running. Persaud, who is a very quiet, easy going individual, displayed a maturity beyond her years with the seriousness that she approaches her tennis and like Grant in the Boy’s category won all her games and was a clear-cut winner in the round robin competition. Kalyca Fraser was the runner up after she started slowly and improved as the competition progressed. Despite the final score being 4-1 4-0 against Persaud in the final match, Fraser had opportunities which she was not able to grasp in the match.
In the Under-10 category, players competed in the best of three sets to nine points. The Boys winner was Maximillion Astner of the Georgetown International Academy who displayed good court sense in all his matches to end unbeaten. His opponent in the final match was Vadeanand Resaul, who despite being the youngest player in the tournament, was able to capture the runner-up position, final score 4/9 9/3/9/4.
The Girls Under-10 category went to Wallindy Roberts, who won against Nathalie Ramdyhan in her final match to take the top spot. Final score in the match was 9/3 9/5.
Matches continue with play in the Under-14 and 18 categories.
