Some of the 12 – 14 year old juniors played in their own event as well as the men’s singles, one being Calvin Smith (13) who beat Bryan Sharp (78) – a bit of an age gap! Nice to see Rosie Manuja has returned to the island’s the tennis scene
Play continues throughout the week with Finals Day on Sunday when the prizes will be presented by Shane Magee, on behalf of the sponsors, Chrystals Estate Agents
