Carter, Skeene among big Catch winners

Carter, who defended his Under-16 Singles crown on Wednesday by beating Adam Ramkissoon, faced him yet again for the Under-18 title. But unlike that final which he won 6-1, 7-6 (3), Carter was in full control from start to finish. He shut out Ramkissoon in the first set and dropped just two games in the second in a comfortable 6-0, 6-2 performance.

Carter later paired with Ramkissoon in the Doubles final to beat Joshua Arnold and Scott Hackshaw 6-4, 6-2.

Also looking for three titles was 13-year-old Solange Skeene who picked up the Under-16 title on Wednesday. Skeene, a finalist at the 2017 Tranquillity Open, easily clinched the Girls Under-14 crown by taking apart Maria Honore 6-0, 6-1. Skeene, the daughter of Digicel Pro League CEO Dexter Skeene, partnered 14-year-old Yin Lee Assang in the Under-18 Doubles final but fell to Emma Davis and U-18 Singles champ Emma-Rose Trestrail in a close battle. Davis and Trestrail claimed an even first set 7-6 (3) but Skeene and Assang hit back to snatch the second 4-6. Trestrail and Davis were not to be denied, though, holding off their rivals 10-7 in the Super Tie-break.
