Braintree Lawn Tennis Club's Rob Legg scooped both the singles and doubles titles at the inaugural Great Baddow Junior Open tournament.

He was in fine form at the event, which was held at The Grove Tennis Club in Chelmsford.

Legg entered the competition as third seed in the under-18s singles and progressed to the final, beating the number one seed in the semi-final.

In the final, Legg won in straight sets 6-2, 6-2 against Adam Paterson in an entertaining match, with both players hotly-contesting every point.

Within two hours of that win, Legg was back on court with playing partner Nick Evans.

They contested the under-18s doubles final against Scott Tungatt and Oliver Waugh.

The opening exchanges promised a tight match.

However, Legg and Evans established a good rhythm which saw them home to a 6-2, 6-2 victory.
