In the Under-13 age bracket, Wilson got the better of Chris Stout of Bermuda in the final yesterday. TT’s Wilson defeated his opponent 9-3, 9-6, 8-10, 5-9, 9-3 to be crowned the champion, as his family, friends and well wishers looked on in joy, and least bit surprised of the victory.

His victory was followed by another title for the home team, in which Sanguinette whipped the Cayman Island’s Alain Mudeen in the Under-15 final at the same venue. Sanguinette led from start to finish in the three-set match, as he won 9-6, 9-6, 9-6 much to the delight of the home fans.

Guyana’s Deje Dias also got the better of TT’s Ryan Bayne in the final of the Under-13 Plate event.

The result meant that Bascombe was the third best in the Caribbean while Wilson and Sanguinette were best in their respective age brackets.
