Top seeds Gabrielle O’Gorman (NSW) and Harry Bourchier (TAS) have taken out the titles at the 2017 ACT Open (Mens Platinum AMT and Womens Silver AMT) on Saturday at the Canberra Tennis Centre.
In the women’s silver AMT, Australian No. 61, O’Gorman was up against third seed Sarina Kang (ACT) in the Women’s singles Final. 21-year-old Kang was full of confidence after not dropping a set on her path to the final, however in-form O’Gorman proved too strong, taking the match comfortably 6-3, 6-2.
The men’s final showcased the two top seeds of the platinum AMT event. Australian No. 40 Scott Puodziunas (QLD) was in excellent form for the duration of the event, taking out third seed and doubles tournament partner and fellow Queenslander Jason Kubler (QLD) in the semi final 6-0, 6-0. Bourchier shared a similar story, and in the end powered through the second and third sets of the final, in-form on the Canberra clay surface after competing in the ACT Claycourt International in March.
