Busy week for Angus players
Angus tennis players were busy last week as two won Scottish tournaments and three played for the North of Scotland at the annual County Week at Roehampton.
Cameron Fryer won the singles title at the Giffnock Open and was runner-up with fellow Montrose Tennis Club member Patrick Young in the doubles.
Fryer beat St Andrews coach Nicolas Rosenzweig in the singles 6-1, 5-7, 7-6, a reversal of the week before at the Bridge of Allan Central Open when Fryer had to retire.
Jen Richardson of Montrose Tennis Club won the 65-plus ladies doubles at the North Berwick Open.
She won five and drew one of the round robin matches with her partner Fiona Stewart of Edinburgh.
Fryer and Young then joined the North of Scotland men's team for the five days of County Week at the National Tennis Centre.
Also playing was Charlie Robertson of Arbroath, who won seven doubles matches out of nine and had winning records against the best teams.
Fryfer won eight of 14 matches and Young four of eight, as the Scots won three of five ties, but missed promotion to Division One.
