Hamish v Ben
Ewen v James

So gone pretty much to seeding

Katherine v Sophie
Jaqueline v Mia

Sophie the big surprise there. Anyone know about her?

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Sophie is a junior with a good game , about 330 in junior ranking, progressing well, and perfectly fine off court, from what I've seen......and a real little madam on court, quite unacceptably so, imo, in some matches I've seen

seagull · Tennis legend

Hamish v James in final.

Pretty sure they would both have made it into Q playoffs easily

seagull · Tennis legend

And its Katherine v Jaqueline in the ladies final

Lambda · Top national player

Katherine will already make the play-offs so sorry Katherine on this occasion I'm rooting for Jacqueline.

Congratulations to Katherine and James on winning West Worthing. The play-off WCs go back to the LTA.

Katherine Barnes [1] d. Jacquelyn Ogunwale [8] 7-6 6-1
