It was an exciting final day of action at the $25,000 Symmetry Software Women’s Pro Circuit Tennis Championships as the doubles and singles champions were decided. The doubles final was easily one of the most competitive matches of the event as unseeded Americans Christina Fusano and Courtney Nagle took on the fourth seeded team of Chun-Mei Ji and Yi Fan Xu (China). Fusano and Nagle came out quickly and took control of the first set early before taking it 7-5. Ji and Xu found their game near the end of the first set and although they dropped the opener they took the second set with more aggressive net play and less unforced errors. Ji and Xu won the second set 6-2. Too many unforced errors in the match-tiebreaker proved too costly as Xi and Xu captured the breaker 10-5.
A much anticipated singles final of Abigail Spears (USA) and Kurumi Nara (JPN) unfortunately did not live up to expectations. The aggressive and consistent play that Nara had become known for during the week did not carry into the final. Nara commited too many unforced errors to amount any sort of comeback. Spears’ combined efficient but offensive minded tennis to take control of the match early. She won the opening set quickly at 6-1. Spears’ ability to follow up deep penetrating groundstrokes into the net was too much for Nara who came to net on a couple of occasions but was obviously uncomfortable being there. Spears took the match 6-1, 6-2 to capture the title.
