  • Shirley Park LTC News Letter – Spring 2012
    Shirley Park LTC News Letter – Spring 2012 Club Championships – Summer 2011 Mens Singles Final - Harry Ware beat Dan Hatton 6-1 7-6 It seemed that Harry Ware was in a hurry when he raced through the opening set of the Mens Singles Final against two-time former champion Dan Hatton taking it 6-1 in just 22 minutes. However, the second set proved a much closer affair. Dan struck early on by taking the first two games of a see-saw set that contained some high quality tennis and exciting rallies. Harry then broke service twice to take a 3-2 lead, but Dan returned the compliment and had a chance to take the set when serving at 5-3. Two double faults gave Harry the chance to level and, after sharing service holds, he eased through the tie-break to successfully defend his title in straight sets. Ladies Singles Final - Natalie Davis beat Kamila Morgan 6-2 6-3 This was a tight affair. Kamila came out hitting some crunching forehands but Natalie wisely kept most of her shots to Kamila's backhand in an attempt to neutralise her opponent's game. It became clear early on that Natalie’s strategy was to simply out rally her opponent with her consistency. Natalie showing great resilience broke Kamila in the fourth & sixth games to win the first set 6-2. The second set produced some stunning tennis with Kamlia using her forehand topspin to good effect. Kamila moved into a 3-1 lead and at this stage it looked we could be heading to a third set.
