Tu defeated 15-year-old Edward Winter to win the tournament.
Tu claimed a close opening set in 38 minutes, before he went on to win the second set and the match, 6-2 6-2.
“I thought it was a great match and it was really close,” Tu said following the match.
“A really quality opponent for 15-years-old and he actually surprised me a bit. Full credit to Eddie, I think he is a great player.
“I am really stoked to win two in a row, I think it’s a great event.
“I think these events are really getting everyone up and about again. All of a sudden, just a couple of tournaments in Adelaide have got everyone going and wanting to train again, so it’s been really good for us.”

What is a UTR?
Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) is an international tennis rating system that connects millions of tennis players around the world to help them find better matches locally. UTR reflects a player’s current skill level based on head-to-head match scores, and rates all players across age, gender and nationality on the same 16-point scale. Every player can have a UTR – from the pros to juniors to social tennis players.
