Tournament director Anders Borg highlighted the significance of Abi’s victory, saying, “Over the years, we have developed a big tennis following in the region, and to see local players like Abi go all the way in one of our events is a testament to the talent and dedication in our community. We have made Liverpool a major hub in Britain for international junior tournaments, which we are very proud of.”
