There were three qualifying places up for grabs, with Robin Davey of Middleton Sports Club succeeding in qualifying in third place.

Second-place qualifier was Edward Timberlake, with Freddie Whitby getting first place. Both receive their coaching and are playing members at Chichester Racquets & Fitness Club.

Tournament referee Peter Cook said: “I was honoured to be asked to referee this pre-qualifying event for the Sussex junior county closed championships this year.

“The tournament was a perfect opportunity for lower-rated players to play more competitive mini green tennis, which meets the aims and objectives of Tennis Sussex.”
