In men’s singles action, Jasika won his first title since that impressive 27-match winning streak between August and October last year. The 27-year-old was also dominant throughout the week, only dropping one set. He prevailed over Pavle Marinkov, who reached his first career ITF final.
A super tiebreak was also needed to decide the men’s doubles final, where Aussie Matt Hulme paired with Kiwi James Watt to claim proceedings.
Hulme and Watt added to their Burnie triumph, defeating another Aussie/Kiwi duo in Joshua Charlton and Ajeet Rai 6-7(7) 7-6(1) [13-11].
The Australian Pro Tour will continue along the Murray River this week as players will compete in Swan Hill for the second grass-court crown of the season.
Mildura champions Cabrera and Jasika will enter as the No.1 seeds once again, meaning Jasika holds the top seed at a fourth consecutive Pro Tour event.
Thirty-one Aussies have been guaranteed main-draw entry into the Swan Hill International including Gabriella Da Silva Fick, who aims to defend her 2024 crown.
