Robinson secures Guernsey glory

Friday 20th November 2009, 2:29PM GMT.

Nico RobinsonNICO ROBINSON (pictured) pulled off the only Guernsey win in the four age group tennis finals held at Les Ormes at the weekend, but all were hotly contested and the Sarnian competitors performed well.

The AIB Grand Prix finalists had all earned their place against their top Jersey counterpart by competing in all the major junior Channel Island events during the year, accumulating points for entering and more points based on how far into each draw they got.

The AIB finals are held on the show courts set out for the professional ATP challenger event finals held at Les Ormes later the same day.

The matches were played with ball boys, umpires and linesmen and the players were introduced on court to the audience by Hugh Raymond, CI tennis manager.

First on court on Saturday morning was Max Galins in the 10-and-under boys’ final against Jake Evans of Jersey.
