T&T junior international Nabeel Mohammed captured three titles, the Under-18 and U-16 singles titles, both at the expense of his doubles partner, Jelani Davidson, before the duo paired in an U-18 doubles title win, on the concluding day of the Catch National Junior Tennis Championships 2013.
The tournament ended yesterday at the Eddie Taylor Public Courts, King George V Park, St Clair, with Mohammed yet again stamping his authority on the junior version of the game.
Mohammed, who reached to the final with an easy 6-2, 6-4 victory over Clint Singh a day prior, first met Davidson on Sunday in the U-16 title match, in which the hat-trick winner took 6-3, 7-5. The two then met in the U-18 final and Mohammed had an even easier task as he walked away with a 6-4, 6-2 win in the end.
Davidson would finally seal a title when he and Mohammed paired up, as they did in the recent Junior Davis Cup qualifiers, to hand Keshan Moonasar and Nkrumah Patrick a simple, 6-4, 6-2 defeat.
Emma Davis was as influential among the girls when she captured the U-16 singles and U-14 singles and doubles titles. Davis paired with Emma-Rose Trestrail and met Cheyenne Chin-Choy and Jovan Davidson in the U-14 doubles final, where they won 7-6(4), 6-2.
Scott Hackshaw, as expected secured both the U-14 singles and doubles titles. Hackshaw defeated Joshua Arnold, 6-4, 6-1 in the singles final, before he and Scott secured the doubles title via walkover.
There was a Red Star challenge for players under 10 years old, which was captured by Nicholas Gregoire and Sanjana Misreelal, in the boys and girls divisions, respectively.
