2019 Australian Open: Friday Finals Wrap
BCiB Australian Jackaroo Aron Sherriff has capped off his outstanding 2019 Australian Open campaign with his third Men’s Singles crown following victory over local hope, Gus Templeton.
Sherriff was at his decisive and clinical best from the outset, cruising to a 21-6 victory to secure the title, to go with his Men’s Pairs title on Thursday with fellow Australian, Ray Pearse.
In the process, Sherriff, who also became the first person to win three Australian Open singles crowns, was also awarded Player of the Tournament seeing him pocket a total of $17,500 for his efforts across the fortnight, ($10,000 Singles, $5,000 Pairs, $2,500 Player of the Tournament).
Elsewhere, Genevieve Delves and Dawn Hayman produced a gutsy come-from-behind victory to claim the Women’s Pairs title over Cabramatta pair Jessica Hogan and Carmen Anderson, while Over-60s Men’s pair Sam Laguzza and Rowan Brassey secured back to back titles with their win earlier in the day.
