JORDAN HUNTE CLAIMS THE TITLE OF - St. Lucia u16 SR4 Champion

Jordan Hunte serves to a comprehensive victory over Trinidadian rival Sebastian Sylvester in the final of the boy's category of the St. Lucia SR4 U16 Transitional Series Tennis Championship.

Hunte deserves a gold medal after his remarkable win today in the final of the boy's category. Last month at the u16 Mixed team Championship in Trinidad Hunte defeated Sylvester in three sets 6-4 6-7 10-8. He has repeated and improved his performance today as he defeated Sylvester again in straight sets 6-1 6-4.

Both boys played top class tennis giving their all, keeping their composure in what seemed to be a very unpredictable match. Hunte breezed his way through the first set capitalizing on the many errors made by Sylvester, he won 6-1. In the second Hunte was up 5-2 serving for the match when he was broken by Sylvester and Sylvester held serve making the score 5-4. 

What seemed to be a comeback for Sylvester was quickly stricken by Hunte when he closed off the match serving at 40-15. Hunte was very composed and played diligently with no pressure claiming his first place position in the tournament. he was declared champion by match official Mr. Ricardo Francois.

Tournament continues tomorrow with the 18 & under category, players take to the courts from 9:00am at the National Tennis Centre in Beasejour, Gros-Islet. 

Once again on behalf of the Tennis Association we congratulate Jordan Hunte and wish him well in the 18 & under category next week.
