Miller/Andrews into doubles final
Carlos Adams continued his imperious form by easily disposing of Berbician Godfrey Lowden to capture the Men’s 35 and over title as the Pegasus Open Tennis Championships continued on Friday, at the Hotel’s Hardcourts.
Adams continued where he left off in his semi-final win over Rudy Grant by beating Lowden in straight sets 6-3, 6-3 for the title.
The champion like his opponent has been playing competitively since the 80’s and he showed that he is still the player to beat at the Over 35 level as he took down the usually tough Berbician easily.
The match started off with Adams establishing a 3-0 lead as he secured a break on Lowden’s generally reliable serve with several well placed shots. Lowden clawed back to 2-3, before Adams consistent game allowed him to pull away and eventually take the set 6-3.
The second set started off evenly with both players securing break of serves to tie up the match early on, before a combination of winners from Adams and unforced errors from Lowden ultimately swayed the match and title in Adams’ favour.
In the other match played, top seeds Jeremy Miller/Jason Andrews enjoying a favorable draw booked their places in the finals with a 6-2, 6-2 triumph over juniors Gavin Lewis and Benedict Sukra in the Men’s Doubles.
The youngsters despite being outgunned put up a fight and in one game, Lewis even served back to back aces against Andrews who had trouble returning his serve.
Miller/Andrews who have been the dominant doubles team over the years will await the winner of the match between Andre Lopes/Daniel Lopes and Nicholas Fenty/Leyland Leacock this afternoon.
Other matches scheduled for this weekend will include the final of the Novices singles where Stephen Bailey takes on Jesus Lamazon in their one set encounter and the Mixed Doubles finals which will be played on Sunday.
The Men’s Doubles final will be on Monday evening and is expected to be explosive.
