Sheffields Alex Jewitt collected the men's doubles title at Belgium's Ath Open NEC Wheelchair Tennis Tour last weekend.
Earlier in the tournament, French second seed Lahcen Majdi had beaten reigning National champion Jewitt 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 in the men's singles quarter-finals, but Jewitt gained some compensation for that narrow loss when he paired up with David Phillipson in the men's doubles as the British pairing again lived up to their top billing to beat second seeds Majdi and Gert Vos of Belgium in the final.
On the junior tour at the ITF Grade 4 in Portugal, Kyle Edmund reached the semi-finals of the boys' singles before going down in three sets to Antonio Mastrelia of Italy.

Edmund and Hutt finished runners up.

At the ITF $25k in Tallinn, Estonia, Anna Fitzpatrick met Anne Keothavong in the quarter-finals of the women’s singles.
