Paige Hourigan forced to fight back to win national title, after teen Vivian Yang opened fast
The men’s singles final was an entertaining contest between the top two seeds Ajeet Rai and Isaac Becroft. Coming into the contest the two had played four times since COVID-19 lockdown, splitting the four matches so it was always going to be a tight contest. Play went with serve until Becroft broke the Rai serve at 4-4 and the Wellington local took full advantage of his opportunity to close out the first set. Becroft made a fast start to the second set getting an early break to give him full control, but Rai fought back straight away to get back to 2-1 down.
