At the Homestretch Avenue facility, the talented and diminutive Billingy copped the girls’ under-13, under-15 and under-19 titles with not much resistance from her opposition.
In the under-13 final, Billingy came up against Samara Sukhai whom she breezed past 3-0 in straight sets (311-5, 11-7 and 11-9). Billingy won her semifinal against Akira Watson in similar 3-0 fashion, while Sukhai trampled Shackey Damon 3-0 (11-2, 11-0 & 11-1) in her semifinal.
The under-15 and under-19 girls’ division were both contested in the round-robin format and both divisions finished with identical results with Billingy finishing on top. Sukhai was second and Akira Watson third, in both divisions.
Malachi Moore won the boys’ under-13 singles, while Colin Wong had little trouble getting past Ebo McNell 3-0 (11-5, 11-6 & 11-4) in the final.
The tournament continues tomorrow with the B Class Singles at the CASH.
