NUMBER one seed Simon Roberts toppled defending champion Chris Nott in Saturday's final to win the men's singles title at the Bolton Tennis Championships.

Nott fought hard to hang on to his crown, winning the second set 6-3 to level the match after Roberts had taken the opener 6-4.

But Roberts proved just why he went into the tournament as favourite, claiming the final set 6-2 to win back the title.

The women's singles final also went with the form book as Amy Hadjinicolaou retained her title with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Emily.

In the doubles, father and son pairing Phil and Jonny Shacklady battled to a two-set win (7-5, 7-6) against Nott and Charlie Foley.

Jonny Shacklady also retained the mix doubles title with partner Rebecca Baldwin, while Laurie Clark and Annabel Rowlands won the women's doubles.

And Will Hart beat Arber Gashi 4-2, 4-1 in this FAST4 event.
