Among the matches, the reigning Mixed Open Doubles champions, Kizzy Richmond and Leyland Leacock turned in a solid performance to see off the pair of Justine Kennedy and Benjettan Osborne. To the latter pair’s credit they provided a stern challenge in the first set pressing Richmond and Leacock to deuce, however, the reigning champions’ experience showed and they emerged 7/6 victors. The second set saw a more straightforward 6/2 win for the champs as they sealed progression in the championship.
