Tennis Scotland Open Tour finals: Ewen Lumsden & Mia Wainwright win finals

Scotland’s Ewan Lumsden and English 17-year-old Mia Wainwright emerged victorious at the first Tennis Scotland Open Tour finals to be broadcast live by BBC Scotland.

Lumsden, ranked 601 in the world, avenged last year’s defeat in the final by Stewart (520) 7-5 3-6 7-5 to complete a double after having already teamed up with former world number 44 Jonny O’Mara to take the men’s doubles title.

Top-seeded reigning champion Stewart had earlier defeated English third seed and fellow 25-year-old Liam Hignett 6-3 6-4 in the semi-finals, while second seed Lumsden swept aside fellow 24-year-old James MacKinlay 6-0 6-1.

Nottingham’s Wainwright eventually overpowered top-seeded Newcastle 27-year-old Emma Wilson 7-6 6-2 in the women’s final.

Both had swept to easy victories in the semi-finals.

Wainwright, 595th in the world junior rankings, beat fellow 17-year-old Aimee Knowles, also from Northumberland, 6-2 6-0.

Wilson, ranked 983 on the senior tour and who had entered the tournament as a wild card, won 6-0 6-1 against Northumberland 16-year-old Teodora Prisadnikova, who was runner-up last year.
