FINALS WEEKEND: Student and teacher are the big winners

Despite Saturday’s schedule being washed out, the club crammed seven finals into Sunday.

And Ortonowski, a King’s School student, and Swann, a teacher, won two open titles apiece.

Ortonowski (16) beat reigning champion Maki Zivotic (17) in straight sets to win the mens singles final. Both teenagers are ranked in the top 10 players in Cambs.

The pair then combined to beat Phil Watson and Chris Gregg in the men’s doubles final over three keenly-contested sets.

Swann beat Patcheree Shawaween in the ladies singles final before teaming up with Caroline Beaty to win the ladies doubles title.

Watson and Roy Purves were easy winners of the men’s over 45 doubles, while Jo Martin and Jane Eayrs won the mature ladies doubles straight after losing the open doubles final.
