The trio of top-ranked play­ers Cameron Wong, Akiel Duke, and Richard Mc Letchie all lived up to their rank­ing by claim­ing their re­spec­tive di­vi­sion­al sin­gles ti­tles in the Duke Ten­nis Acad­e­my (DTA) Ten­nis Tour­na­ment at the Guaracara Ten­nis Club in Pointe-a-Pierre, on Sun­day.

In the Women’s Open fi­nal, na­tion­al Un­der-21 and U-18 cham­pi­on Wong came from a set down to beat de­fend­ing cham­pi­on Far­rah Chau­ti­lal 2-6, 6-2 (10-7).

Tour­na­ment or­gan­is­er, Duke, the reign­ing East Zone Clas­si­fied cham­pi­on was al­so tak­en the dis­tance by 14-year-old Kale Dal­la Cos­ta be­fore he emerged vic­to­ri­ous 6-7 (3), 7-5, (10-5) to win the men's crown.

And in the Vet­er­ans Di­vi­sion, Mc Letchie had an easy time as he brushed aside the chal­lenge of Neil Lin­go, 6-0, 6-1.

Duke was de­nied a chance of two ti­tles on the day as his dou­bles part­ner Nabeel Mo­hammed was a no-show for the top-ranked pair’s match-up with na­tion­al coach Dun­stan De­noon and Ki­no Fran­cis in the men’s dou­bles de­cider.

Wong end­ed the day with two ti­tles af­ter she paired with An­drae Craw­ford to cap­ture the Mixed Dou­bles ti­tle beat­ing Dex­ter Ma­hase and Nao­mi Mo­hammed in a tense en­counter, 2-6, 6-3, 11-9.

Ear­li­er in the morn­ing, Wong and Craw­ford were award­ed a de­fault win over Nabeel Mo­hammed, and Lil­ly Mo­hammed while Dex­ter Ma­hase, and Nao­mi Mo­hammed over­came Mc Letchie and Cather­ine Camp­bell in the two semi­fi­nals.
