Anthony Downes captured his seventh consecutive Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry men’s Open lawn tennis title after defeating Daniel Lopes in straight sets in the just concluded tournament held at the National Racket Center tennis court.
Downes who has been quite prominent on the local scene, participating in his first men’s singles final since he was a 14- year-old, has battled with other top players such as Phillip Squires and Jeremy Miller over the years.
The Open champion, who is now 25-years-old, is hoping to hone his skills and further his tennis career through playing future tournaments internationally and may play his first such tournament in August in Colombia, on the back of his recent success.
