After 317 matches in 31 events over 5 days in temperatures continually over 30C, the 107^th Tennis Fiji Open, played on both artificial and natural grass, was again an outstanding success with strong overseas participation in the almost record 158 players who entered the event. A group of Vanuatu Junior players, under the guidance of their coach Francis Bryard, came to the event for the very first time as part of the large tennis development programme in Vanuatu. The Tennis Fiji Open is one of the few tennis events globally where Open, Senior Age Group, Social and Junior Events are held simultaneously. Tarani Kamoe (FIJ) emulated the feat she achieved 2 years earlier by winning the Ladies Open Singles beating Lucy Wood (AUS) 62, 64.

Steve Loeffler (AUS) completed the double by winning the Men’s 35 Singles plus also the Men’s Open Singles against Tira Bira (KIR) 61, 60. Perhaps the star of the event and an outstanding future prospect was Clement Mainguy (VAN). Aged only 11 years with a racquet almost the same size as he is, he won the Boys 13 Singles, the Boys 15 Singles and the Boys 15 Doubles and only dropping 1 set in the whole 3 events.

The Tennis Fiji-Jacks of Fiji Tennis Open 2013 concluded over the weekend with 2 players becoming  two time Men’s and Ladies Open Champions of the Fiji Open. Cyril Jacobe (VAN) emulated the feat he achieved in 2006 by becoming the Fiji Open 2013 Men’s Singles Champion beating William O’ Connell (FIJ) in the final 6/1, 6/4. Similarly in the Ladies Singles Open, Marcia Tere-Apisah (PNG) repeated what she had achieved in 2009 by beating the defending champion, Tarani Kamoe (FIJ) in 3 sets 4/6, 6/4, 6/2.

There were a total of 314 matches played over 5 days (though one day was washed out by torrential rain so in effect 4 days) at the Denerau Golf and Racket Club comprising a total of 3,712 games. Some intermittent rain, unusual for this time of the year, meant that some matches that were scheduled for the grass court were transferred to the synthetic grass courts at the Nadi Sport’s Centre. This necessitated playing some pro sets to ensure that the event would be completed.

Fiji Open 2012

The Fiji Open Tennis Tournament was held at the Denarau Golf and Racquets Club on Denarau Island, Nadi, Fiji, from 16 to 20 May 2012

There were excellent numbers of participants particularly in the veterans categories.A great time was had by all and every event was completed despite some inclement weather.

Highlight of the tournament was the performance of Fiji 17 year old Tarani Kamoe in winning the open women’s singles. Tarani is the first Fiji woman to take the title in 24 years! Top seed
in the event was Marcia Tere-Apisah from PNG but she was taken out early by New Caledonia’s Assya Trimari in a surprise upset. Trimari came through to the final and faced Kamoe and continued her excellent form by taking the first set 6-4.
However Kamoe then got her game going and took the next two sets 6-3 6-2 to
claim the title. Australian Mark Shanahan dominated the open men’s singles once again, claiming the Men’s Singles title for the 3rd time. However he was pushed very hard in the final by Brandon Vescio. Vescio took the first set in a thrilling tiebreaker before Shanahan wrestled back control of the match taking the next two sets for a 67 62 62 victory.

The tournament was supported by Tourism Fiji, Jacks of Fiji and Air Pacific.
