Veteran player Godfrey Lowden was in fine form over the weekend as he notched up two wins at the Pegasus Tennis Open. His first win was an entertaining Mixed doubles matchup against juniors Benedict Sukra/Nicola Ramdyhan who more than held their own against the Berbicians Lowden and Carol Humphrey.
In the first set the youngsters who have been playing together for some time, showed good teamwork and took the first set 7-5 against the veteran players. Lowden and Humphrey then bounced back to win the second 6-0 before a close third set which they also took 6-4 to advance to the next round.
Lowden returned in the Men’s 35 Singles to face top player Andre Lopes in a matchup that would have featured prominently 20 years ago when the players were in their prime. Lowden and Lopes battled in the first set before Lowden who was the aggressor was able to secure the set 6-4. Lopes was not at his fluent best and appeared jaded throughout the match as Lowden forced the issue with some good shots and took the second set 6-2.
Another junior team comprising 11 year old Afruica Gentle and 16yr old Gavin Lewis stunned seasoned players Grace Mcalman and Nicholas Glasgow in the Mixed Doubles 6- 2 6-3. Gentle and Lewis who recently represented Guyana in the Inter Guiana Games in Suriname capitalised on match rustiness from their more seasoned opponents who could not find a groove.
