Tin-Tin Ho has her first Women’s Singles title after beating top seed Kelly Sibley at the PG Mutual National Championships in Hatfield today.

The 17-year-old from Paddington twice came from behind to win it 4-2 (5-11, 11-9, 3-11, 11-9, 11-9, 11-6) and complete a treble of titles having successfully defended both the Women’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles earlier in the day.

Meanwhile, Liam Pitchford’s three-year reign as national Men’s Singles champion is at an end after Sam Walker defeated him in seven games in the semi-finals.

The No 4 seed Walker – like Pitchford a World Team Championships bronze medallist earlier this month – prevailed in a high-quality match which swung one way, the other and back again before Walker’s decisive move from 3-2 down in games.

The first trophy of the day was won by Walker & Ho who took the Mixed Doubles title for the third successive year, beating David McBeath & Emma Vickers.

Ho & Tsaptsinos then retained their Women’s Doubles title, beating Karina Le Fevre & Vickers.

Pitchford & Drinkhall were then in blistering form as they made it four Men’s Doubles titles in a row with a demolition of Chris Doran & Mike O’Driscoll.

Mixed Doubles

Sam Walker & Tin-Tin Ho celebrated a hat-trick of Mixed Doubles titles as they sunk David McBeath and Emma Vickers in three straight.

Walker in particular unleashed a barrage of shots which the silver medallists had no answer to as the top seeds – who had faced elimination in the semi-finals at three match points down – took the trophy.

Walker said: “It’s great to win it again – that’s the hat-trick and it was good to keep my momentum up.

“The semi-final was really tough, but to be honest, I think we should have won it 3-0 and shouldn’t have really given them the chance, but they managed to pull it back and should have won.

“We got some good balls back and had a bit of luck, but you need that, and we were confident going into the final.”

Ho added: “It feels good to win it again, for the third year in a row. Sam’s a great doubles partner. The semi-final was really tough but we got it at the crucial point and took our chance.”
