Gwen Klu and Helena Geissler won the doubles event at the Lexus Junior International Loughborough J60 tournament, defeating third seeds Isabella Rebel and Anna Wright 6-3, 7-6 in the final. The unseeded pair progressed through the draw with impressive performances, winning in straight sets against the tournament's fourth seeds in the quarter-finals and second seeds in the semi-finals. They had required a third-set tiebreak to progress from their first round match.

Klu, from Telford, and Geissler, who is from Germany, have played doubles together at Ellesmere College's Tennis Academy. This was their first World Tennis Tour title together, though they had previously competed in a World Tennis Tour tournament at Liverpool last year.

The victory adds to Klu's recent success. She won two World Tennis Tour junior titles in Ghana last month. According to her father William, the recent competitions were part of a plan for Klu to compete against top-ranked players and identify areas for development in her game.
