Marc Polmans has won his first singles title since March 2023 after winning the men’s Australian Pro Tour event in Perth.
The No.2 seed saved a match point in the final to defeat Japan’s Kaichi Uchida 3-6 6-4 7-6(6) for his 14th career singles crown.
After deep Australian Pro Tour runs in Tamworth last month – where he reached the final and semifinals, respectively – Polmans’ triumph over Uchida ended a five-match losing streak in finals.
Brit Finn Bass and Kiwi Ajeet Rai defeated Japanese duo Masamichi Imamura and Naoki Tajima 6-1 7-6(3) to win the doubles title.
At the Australian Pro Tour event in Darwin, South Korea’s Jeong BoYoung won the singles final against local Elena Micic 6-2 7-5. In the semifinals, Jeong saved three match points to snap No.2 seed Taylah Preston’s 13-match winning streak.
Meanwhile, Great Britain’s Brooke Black and Japan’s Reina Goto won the doubles final against Australians Elicia Kim and Jizelle Sibai 6-3 6-2.
