In the final, Connell whipped Vernon Theophille 6-0, defeating all St Lucians who stepped to the court to test his skills.

Meanwhile, Che’s elder brother, Rio, won the consolation prize in the Boys Under-12.

Rio lost to Courtney Palmer of the British Virgin Islands 6- 4, but bounced back and beat Nathan Elliot of St Lucia 6-2; however, he could not get past St Lucian Arden Rosemond, who triumphed, 7-5.

Rio, though, recorded a 6-0 drubbing on Renaldo St Juste of St Lucia in the consolation final.(RT)
