By George! Two open titles for Green, while Leo roared to two over 45 final wins at City of Peterborough Tennis Club Championships
George Green picked up two open titles on City of Peterborough Tennis Club’s Finals Day at Bretton Gate.
Green teamed up with Alex Parker to beat Laurence Maynard and James Lewis in straight sets in the men’s doubles and partnered Fiona Frost in the mixed doubles final where they saw off Thomas Blackburn and Rebekah Hatfield just as comfortably.
The men’s open singles title went to esteemed coach James Puttrell who required a champions tie break in a deciding set to pip Lewis. Puttrell had beaten number one seed Parker in the semi-final, again after a champions tie break.
Iva Taylor needed just two sets to win the ladies open singles final against Fiona Frost. Frost won the ladies doubles crown with Anne De Trojan against Anita Duff and Amy Miller-Fox in straight sets in the final.

JP Lamy lost in both finals with Mo Malkera and then Duff, but the mixed final was a thriller with Shead and Dallas triumphing 13-11 in a champions tie break.
