Seaton Tennis club’s Emma Hurst is the new 2016 British University Women’s Singles National Champion.
The University of Bath student claimed the BUCS Championship without dropping a set during the tournament held at Loughborough University this week.
Emma had to meet her Great Britain team mate, Olivia Nicholls in the final, but took the title with a convincing 6-2, 6-0 win.
Emma also hopes to improve her world ranking on the ITF circuit later this year by competing in Pro-series events at Surbiton, Eastbourne, and Nottingham.
Belinda Bawden, press and publicity officer at Seaton tennis club said: “We are very proud of Emma’s achievement and we hope she will have time to play a few A team matches for us this summer!”
