Five players made finals, playing some amazing tennis along the way, coach Craig Louis said.
Isabelle Moore was victorious in the 14/u girls singles, beating Parri Barrele in straight sets 6-3, 6-0.
"Isabelle had set a goal to do well at this event and has been working hard with her strength and conditioning training off court," Louis said.
"We have seen great results with Isabelle's fitness and movement on court which allowed her to get in position and dictate the game on her terms."
Mason Louis teamed up with Guyra's Harry Purvis in the 12/u boys doubles to defeat Ari Ganassin and Thomas Hatcher-Née 7-6, 6-1.
