ZUZANNA Glowacz produced one of the best performances of the Essex Closed Junior Tennis Tournament to win two events.

The Westcliff Hardcourts player beat the number two seed in the semi-finals before defeating top seed Phoebe Collins in the final of the 14 and under girls.

She then partnered Cranston Park’s Toby Dunlea to win the 14 and under mixed doubles, before narrowly losing the 18 and under girls’ doubles alongside Globe’s Alexandra Jones.

Southend Lawn player and number one seed, Matthew Pearce beat Harry Randle (Thorpe Bay) in two straight sets to finish top of a field of 32 players in the men’s singles.

Sam Bayda (Westcliff Hardcourts) beat Lewis Tyler (Connaught) in the finals of the 18 and under boy’s singles. The mini events – eight and under, nine and under, and 10 and under – all produced some fine tennis. Thorpe Bay Ananya Vartak, justified her top seeding by beating Grace Leigh (Billericay) in the final of the 10 and under girl’s event.

As is the practice at the Essex Closed, further awards were made. They were: most improved player of the tournament: Lewis Tyler (Connaught), Referees Trophy: Alexandra Jones and most improved under-14 player: Toby Dunlea.

The tournament was refereed by Mark Bragoli and Westcliff couple Lesley and Ian Pitt.

The organiser thanked Thorpe Bay LTC and the volunteers for their help with the event.
