Gavin Manders cemented his position as the Island’s best tennis player with a comprehensive 6-1, 6-1 thrashing of Jenson Bascome in final of the Bermuda Clay Court Championships.

Manders easily overpowered his Davis Cup team-mate at Coral Beach & Tennis Club, walking away with $2,000 in the process.

The women’s competition was decided in equally emphatic fashion with Ashley Brooks, who came into the week unseeded, making quick work of Erika Bove to win the final round-robin match 6-2, 6-1.

Brooks also walked away with $2,000, courtesy of sponsors Moet & Chandon, while Bascome and Jacklyn Lambert picked up $500 each as runners-up in their respective divisions.

Manders and Lambert then teamed up to claim the mixed doubles title, beating Neal Towlson and Caitlin Gordon 6-4, 6-2.

It was the second final of the day for Towlson, who teamed up with Bascome to inflict a rare defeat on Manders in the men’s doubles, with Manders and Jovan Whitter losing 6-1, 6-3.

The women’s doubles, meanwhile, was a hard-fought three-set affair, which Bove and Jill Finnigan eventually won, beating Brooks and Imani Phillips 3-6, 6-3, 6-2.

In other results, Gill Butterfield and Kelly Way added to their collections of titles with the women’s doubles 50, beating Janet Burke-Green and Lavern Stowe 4-6, 6-1, 6-2.

Butterfield and Burke-Green then teamed up to win the women’s doubles 60, beating Patricia Hawkins and Sally Hurlburt 6-0, 6-2.
