Final KPMG open tennis tournament sets stage for Masters showcase

The sixth and final open tournament of the 2026 KPMG Junior Tennis Circuit is officially in the books, leaving the upcoming Masters showcase in November as the final piece of the circuit puzzle.

From 2-4 Oct., the Tennis Federation of the Cayman Islands hosted the final open tournament at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman’s tennis courts with youth players competing across four age divisions.

In the Under-10 division, Dominic Drobot claimed the title, with Sebastian Laidlaw finishing as the runner-up.

The Under-12 division saw Harri Harrison capture the victory, followed by runner-up Sean Wilson.

In the Under-14 division, Lucas Laidlaw emerged victorious over runner-up Renze Xu.

Finally, the Under-18 division concluded with Daniel Suico securing the top spot over Aaron Rajamohan.

The KPMG Junior Tennis Circuit features six open tournaments and one invitational Masters tournament per year reserved for the top eight competitors in each division.

Tennis Federation of the Cayman Islands president Elaine Anderson said, “Even through the unsettled weather of the weekend and the challenges that come from that, each junior player showed great maturity and determination during their matches.”

She added, “Now that the six tournaments in the annual series are complete, the rankings will be finalised and will determine who is invited to compete in the Masters event.”

The points earned throughout the circuit feed directly into the federation’s official junior national ranking system.

Established as the sole published ranking system for junior players by the Tennis Federation of the Cayman Islands, these standings are designed to recognise player performance across all local, KPMG-sponsored tournaments.

The Masters event is scheduled to take place from 20-22 Nov. at the Cayman Islands Tennis Club.
