Tasmania’s top-ranked player Harry\u00a0Bourchier was among the winners at the\u00a02018 Telstra Business Centre Geilston Bay Open.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old\u00a0Bourchier, currently ranked No.542 in the world, won the men’s singles competition. Recently sidelined with an abdominal injury, Bourchier used the tournament to test his fitness before his return to ITF Futures events in Asia.<\/p>\n

Vanessa Dobson won the women’s singles event, Edison Lee won the Rookie Open for younger athletes, and Rae Mitchell teamed with Ange McHugh won win a social 35+ doubles competition.<\/p>\n
