Storm Hunter has been crowned women’s singles champion at this week\u2019s Burnie International.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hunter secured the women\u2019s singles title with a 6-4 6-3 victory against fellow Australian Olivia Gadecki in today\u2019s final at the Australian Pro Tour event.<\/p>\n

It is Hunter\u2019s fifth consecutive win without dropping a set and delivers the 28-year-old her third career ITF singles title \u2013 and first since 2019.<\/p>\n

World No.245 Hunter, who took a wildcard into the event, is now projected to return to the world\u2019s top 200.<\/p>\n

Hijikata claimed the men\u2019s singles title without losing a set, completing his perfect week with a 6-3 6-3 victory against top seed James Duckworth in the final.<\/p>\n

This is the 21-year-old\u2019s second career ATP Challenger singles title.<\/p>\n

Hijikata, who won the Australian Open men\u2019s doubles title last month, is currently ranked at a career-high world No.149. But after his performance this week, Hijikata is projected to break into the world\u2019s top 120.<\/p>\n

Marc Polmans and Max Purcell clinched the men\u2019s doubles title with a 7-6(4) 6-4 victory against Luke Saville and Tristan Schoolkate in another all-Australian final.<\/p>\n

It is their second ATP Challenger title as a team.<\/p>\n
