In the B grade, Shareef won the men’s singles while father and son duo Yantra and Richard Whitling won the men’s doubles.

Director/head coach of the Northern Rivers Tennis Academy, Stephen Gort, told The Echo, ‘Amadeus had made two finals in previous years, so this was third time lucky for him to take out the open men’s event’.
