Alcott wins singles and doubles with Davidson by side

VIS tennis player Dylan Alcott has enjoyed a great weekend of tennis in Louisiana claiming both the singles and doubles championships at the Cajun Classic.

Alcott couldn’t have done it without his doubles partner and fellow VIS scholarship holder Heath Davidson claiming victory against Great Britain’s Antony Cotterill and Andrew Lapthorne; 4-6, 6-1, 6-3.

Alcott also breezed through his singles tournament to eventually take the victory in the final against Lapthorne in straight sets (6-0, 6-2).

Alcott only dropped 18 games from four matches during the whole singles competition.

Davidson was knocked out by Lapthorne in the qualifying round.
