A 14-year- old Weston Tennis Club prodigy has claimed first place in the Chard and Bridgwater grade five events and is shooting up the rankings.

Kershaw Whitfield won the first three of his matches in Chard, 4-1 4-1 in a fast four format, achieving victory with some powerful hitting.

Then, the following week, he won the Bridgwater grade five, again winning all three of his matches 4-1 4-1 with the loss of just six games.

Whitfield's next tournament is a grade three event coming up at Winscombe.
