BURDEROP’S Lewis Fletcher won his second men’s singles titles in four years at the National Deaf Tennis Championships on Bank Holiday Monday.

Fletcher completed the event with two titles from his two events after also winning the men’s doubles with Jack Clifton in Welwyn Garden City.

Fletcher beat top seed and 12-time former champion Peter Willcox 6-1, 6-1 in the men’s singles final to follow up his win over Willcox in the 2012 final and having finished runner-up to the same player in 2013 and 2014.

After beating second seed, Surrey’s Jack Clifton 6-0, 7-6(1) in the singles semi-finals, Fletcher partnered Clifton to win the men’s doubles title, the duo defeating Nicholas Ansell and Willcox 6-0, 6-1 in the deciding contest to finish the event having dropped a total of just five games in their three matches across the weekend.

Fletcher has now won the men’s doubles national title six times since 2005.

“It’s been a great weekend for me in terms of results, but also mentally it’s put me in good shape for the rest of the season,’’ said 29-year-old Fletcher, who is joint head coach at Ramsbury Tennis Club with wife Catherine, a former seven-time women’s national champion and now National Deaf Tennis Coach.

“I’m really excited now for the challenges ahead this year.”

The first World Deaf Tennis Championships take place in Nottingham in July.
