junior tennis championships.

Jeyaseelan, top seeded in the
girls’ under-18 division, defeated
second seed Kim Frost of Van-
couver 6-3, 4-6, 6-4.

““Frost) played extremely well,’’
Jeyaseelan said, ‘‘it could have
gone either way but | played the

important points correctly.”

After a rest, Jeyaseelan, also
seeded first in the under-16’s, went
on to defeat second seed Sheira
Stuart of Richmond 5-7, 6-0, 6-3.

"She could have got on better.
Usually she beats them in straight
sets but she has been training very
hard for her tour in Europe,”’ said
Jeyaseelan’s dad, Reggie.

In the boys’. championship
singles for under-14, third seeded
Russell Stuart from West Van-
couver defeated Matthew Walsh,
No. 4, of North Vancouver 6-2,
61

of Coquitlam, also took the

Ramin Pegan and Chris Santoso

In the boys’ A singles finals

Hawkins of North Vancouver
defeated Matthew Dickson of
Vancouver 4-6, 6-4, 6-2.

Tt is not yet confirmed that these
players will be going to the na-
tionals in August but Gary Winter
of Tennis B.C. said the results
from thé B.C. Junior Closed
Tournament play a strong role in
determining national selection.

Jeyaseelan may be representing
B.C. at the nationals in up to three
age categories. ‘‘It would be set-
ting a precedent,’’ said Winter,
adding that Tennis B.C. and Ten-
nis Canada would be deciding if
Jeyaseelan will be allowed to play
in the under-18s.

If she does play in all three,
Jeyaseelan will be travelling to
Quebec, Toronto and the
Hollyburn Country Club in West
Vancouver for the under-14, 16
and 18 categories respectively.

In July Jeyaseelan will be going
to West Germany and the
Netherlands for a total of four
tournaments, including the World
Youth Cup, before returning to
Canada to play in the Sunlife Na-
tionals.
