Albury’s Sam Palmer and Croydon young gun Yuhan Li have taken out the Men’s and Women’s Open Singles titles at last weekends Albury Wodonga Open Championships.

Palmer came in as the number one seed and breezed through his three group matches in straight sets. It wasn’t until the quarter finals that he finally dropped a set to Croydon’s Harsh Madaan. Moving on he went down three sets to one in the semi-final before fighting back fantastically and going on to play a six-set match in the final against Coburg’s Raymond Myrteza.
