Chris van der Salm claimed convincing wins in the Open men's finals this weekend in Dunedin. Chris defeated fellow Cantabrian Joe Williams 11-6, 11-3, 11-2. Both players made use of their height and reach but it was van der Salm who controlled the side walls with his length and accuracy. He hit several volley winners alongside some clinical drop shots. The win came a week after his victory in the Canterbury Open. It was a good tournament for Williams as well; as he upset second seed Jackson Beresford in the semi-finals.
Sophie O'Connell, who recently was selected for the Women’s Canterbury Senior Team lost to Palmer in the women's final.
