promotion 9U Boys Surrey County Championships 2016 It was the end of August and we were back at Sutton Tennis Academy for the 2016 County Championships. Many thanks to Sutton for welcoming both us and the players back, for providing excellent refreshments and for keeping the bad weather at bay. Unfortunately, we were unable to run any of the qualifying events but instead dedicated the first two days of competition to the Orange event. We watched some very entertaining and hard-fought tennis matches over the two days and everyone went away with a certificate to recognise their accomplishments. The County Champions at 9 & Under were Hannah Klugman who beat Natasha Cook 7-2, 7-4, and Sami Khediri who beat Oliver Bonding 7-0 7-3. We anticipate great things from all these players. Tuesday arrived and we started the yellow ball competition running singles events in the 12, 14, 16, 18 and Open categories, with doubles events for 12U boys, 14U girls, 16U boys and Open men’s, women’s and mixed. In addition to the yellow ball competition was the Green event for boys and girls. This year we introduced a Green Mixed Doubles event which attracted much interest. Kai-Luca Ampaw and Alex Gruffat ran out winners in this, beating Joseph Blackman and Joshua Pye in the final 0-4, 4-2, 1-0(2). I think we will certainly run this event again in 2017. The Red event was held indoors on the final day of the tournament alongside the Finals, which were played outdoors on the clay courts. A total of 173 red matches were played on the day so credit must go to all the players as well as the court assistants who helped with the scoring on each court. Many of the matches were excellent, which bodes well for the future of tennis in our county. At the end of play, 8U Boys Matthew Ground won the boys’ event, beating Freddie Johnson 10-0, with Hannah Klugman triumphing in the girls’, beating Martha Ground 10-6. As with every year, I can’t thank David Fuchs and Tim Pearce enough for their pure professionalism in running this tournament. Their contribution makes the Surrey Championships a great event.
