There were some hard-fought matches and brilliant tennis at GTC Winter Finals Day, with members turning out in force to support on a wonderfully sunny day.

In the Ladies Singles, Nikki looked like she would win the trophy after taking the first set 6-2 with a flawless display. However, Pip, who has won for the last 5 years in a row and 11 times in total, wasn’t going to give up her crown without a fight. Sure enough, she took the next two sets in a close match to the end.

Some great tennis in the Mens Singles too, with Ian serving at 4-3 up in the first set, but Rhodri breaking back and ending with a convincing win.

In the Ladies Doubles, Roubina and Marina took sweet revenge on Bridget and Tamlyn who beat them in last Summer’s Ladies Vets Doubles and, in the Mens Doubles, Ian and Graham took the title for the 3rd time in a row, beating Vatche & Henrik.

Other worthy winners on the day were Marian and Matthew in the Mixed Doubles Plate, Katy and Alison in the Ladies Doubles Plate, and Adam and Peter in the Mens Doubles Plate. GTC members were also treated to a great ladder match between Gerry (winner of the Men Singles Plate) and Lauren (Invitation Singles Winner) which Gerry won 6-4, 6-2.
