Szymkowiak Beats Bicknell To Claim Title
Poland’s Kacper Szymkowiak defeated top seed Blaise Bicknell to win the singles title at the ITF M15 Bermuda Open at the WER Joell Tennis Stadium on Sunday [November 8].
The seventh seed overcame his Jamaican opponent 6-4, 6-7, 7-6 to secure his first professional singles title.
The victory reversed the result of the previous week’s final at the same venue, when Bicknell defeated Szymkowiak 6-2, 6-2.
Szymkowiak took the opening set before Bicknell won a second-set tiebreak to level the match. The deciding set also went to a tiebreak, with the Polish player prevailing to claim the championship.
In the doubles final, Guatemala’s Juan Sebastian Dominguez Collado and Curaçao’s Aydan Gomez Osorio defeated top seeds Jeffrey Fradkin and Gray Voelzke.
The unseeded pairing secured a 7-6, 6-3 victory over the American duo to lift the doubles trophy.
