The semi-finals and finals of the West End Cup NZMT4 in association with Configure Express saw the top two seeds in the women's get knocked out in the semis, but it went down to the seeds in the men's.
In the first women's semi-final, top seed Kairangi Vano and fourth seed Dianne Hollands had a close three set battle with Hollands winning the first set. Vano came back to win the second in a tiebreak but Hollands turned the game around to win the third in another tiebreak.
Thirteen year old Tanya Samedelok, seeded sixth who had previously knocked out Shona Lee, beat Leanne Baker in straight sets in the other semi to advance into the final.
Hollands was too strong in the final winning 6/3 7/5 against Samodelok.
After taking out third seed James Shortall yesterday, James Meredith was all set to take on second seed Mark Nielsen. However in the first set, 4-1 down Meredith was forced to retire due to a niggling hamstring injury. In the other semi, top seed Adam Thompson had a straight set win over fourth seed Matt Prentice.
In the men's final Mark Nielsen grabbed the first set 6/3 against Thompson. In the second set Thompson came back and was leading 3-0, but Nielsen came back to win the next 6 games and the match.
