Frankston Centenary Tennis Club hosted the 2024 Signature 20K Victorian Hardcourt Championships from Monday 12 \u2013 Friday 16 February 2024.<\/p>\n
A big week of competition was capped off with the Finals on Friday.<\/p>\n
In the women\u2019s singles\u2019, top seed Victorian Alana Parnaby was up against second seed Monique Barry. An incredibly tight contest from start to finish, Barry took the first set in a tie breaker. Parnaby fought back in the second set to force a deciding set. The third set went down to the wire to a tie breaker with Barry prevailing in the end. The three-hour battle in warm conditions pushed both players who then paired up together to contest the doubles final.<\/p>\n
The pressure of the singles final only propelled Barry and Parnaby [1] when they took on Ashley Katz and Tenika McGiffen [2] in the women\u2019s doubles final. The fatigue of the three hour marathon singles final wasn\u2019t enough to hold them back taking the doubles title 6-1 6-1.<\/p>\n
The men\u2019s singles and doubles finals were both walkovers following an injury to No.1 seed Thomas Braithwaite.<\/p>\n
