Jewitt defeated upcoming British talent Josh Steels 6-0, 6-2 in the semi-finals, to set up a clash with second seed Daniel Caverzaschi of Spain.

A tough encounter was eventually won in straight sets by the reigning champion, 6-3, 6-4, and he was delighted to claim the title.

"It was a good win for me," said Jewitt.

"It's been a few months since my last tournament win, so to retain both titles, is extra pleasing.

"Dani's had some good results this year and so I knew it was going to be a tough and tight match, but thought that if I could execute my game plan I'd win.

"I felt I didn't find top gear, but served well and was able to back it up with good play at the back of the court."


Hunt had a smoother ride in her final, where she won in straight sets against 16-year-old Lauren Jones, who had enjoyed a remarkable run, 6-1, 6-2.

Jewitt teamed up with another British prospect, Dermot Bailey, to take the doubles title with a 6-1, 6-0 win over Steels and Edward Holt.

Jones and Hunt joined forces in the women's doubles to ease to a 6-1, 6-1 success against Debbie Brazier and Laura Coteman.
