Jamaican Davis Cup star Yusuf Migoko dominated the courts at the Argus Open last week picking up a hat-trick of titles.

Migoko, who was flown in to bump up the level of competition for the tournament, beat promising Bermuda youngster David Thomas in straight sets in the men's singles final.

With Bermuda's number-one Andy Bray off the island, Thomas was the best local challenger and pushed his more experienced opponent fairly close in Saturday's final.

Migoko took the first set on a tie-break against 18-year-old Thomas, before going on to a more comfortable 6-2 victory in the second.

He then teamed up with Davis Cup team-mate Tyler Chin to take the men's doubles title and partnered with Jamaican Fed Cup player Tinesta Rowe to claim the mixed doubles crown.

Tinesta made it a great week for the Jamaican contingent beating Sasha Fisher 6-4, 6-2 to win the women's singles.

But Fisher did taste some glory teaming up with her sister Kara to defeat Cayla Cross and Jacklyn Lambert 6-1, 7-6 in the women's doubles final.

In the B Division Justin Frank and Catherine Cooke claimed the titles.[[In-content Ad]]
