Ewen Lumsden and Mia Wainwright were crowned champions after a thrilling two days of action at the Tennis Scotland Open Tour Finals.
In a repeat of last year’s men’s final, Lumsden turned the tables on Hamish Stewart, winning in three sets to lift the title for the first time.
Earlier, Wainwright defeated Emma Wilson in two sets to cap off a brilliant year for the 17-year-old on the TS Open Tour.
The finals at Scotstoun attracted big crowds and were streamed live for the first time by BBC Scotland on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website.
Lumsden, who beat Logan Gillespie, Patrick Young and James MacKinlay en route to the final, came through 7-5, 3-6, 7-5 after an epic battle with his fellow Scot, ending a superb year for the 24-year-old following four titles on the ITF World Tennis Tour.
He said: “I’ve had a lot of matches lately, it’s been a long few days, but I’m very happy to come out on top. I just tried to stay in the moment and stay aggressive.
“The TS Open Tour is hugely important – it allows me and Hamish as well to travel as there’s good prize money, and it’s just nice to play back in Scotland.”
Wainwright clinched the women’s title with a 7-6 (7), 6-2 win over Wilson, adding to her wins at the Scottish Indoors, Clay and Grass championships in 2024.
She said: “It feels great to win, thanks to everyone at Tennis Scotland for such a great tournament. This is my first year on the TS Open Tour – I’ve really enjoyed it and I’ll definitely play in years to come.”
