The AID Clay Court Championships concluded on Sunday afternoon at the Gym Tennis Club in Winton Meadows, with Larry Rolle successfully defending his title in the Jr. Vets singles division with a come-from-behind win over Brent Johnson.
Johnson jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead as Rolle seemed unable to handle Johnson's heavy topspin shots. However, Rolle soon found the answer and, after Johnson appeared to tire, reeled of six straight games to take the first set, 6-3.
The second set was a much closer affair with Johnson actually serving for the set at 5-4, but he was unable to hold on. Rolle equalized and eventually forced a tiebreak at 6-6 which he then finished off seven points to five to take the match in two sets, 6-3 and 7-6 (5).
Other winners during the two-week tournament were: Kevin Major Jr. (men's open singles and mixed doubles); Jamal Adderley and Ceron Rolle (men's open doubles); Austin Burrows and Sean Cartwright (men's Jr. vets doubles); and Danielle Thompson (women's singles, women's doubles with Marion Bain and mixed doubles).
Harold Watson, president and managing director of Automotive Industrial Distributors (AID) Ltd., presented attractive trophies and other prizes to the winners and runners-up, and pledged AID's continued sponsorship of this premier event into the foreseeable future.
