Norfolk wins fourth indoor title

Peter Norfolk
World number two Norfolk wrapped up a straight-sets victory

Hampshire's Peter Norfolk earned his fourth Nottingham Indoor quad singles wheelchair tennis title with a simple win over Dorrie Timmermans van Hall.

Norfolk raced to a 6-1 6-0 win over the Dutch world number eight in 53 minutes.

World number two Norfolk, 48, paired up with Surrey's John Parfitt in the quad doubles, but top seeds Boaz Kramer of Israel and Timmermans won 5-7 7-5 6-3.

The main singles draw titles were won by Maikel Scheffers of the Netherlands and Florence Gravellier of France.

Scheffers won his second Nottingham Indoor men's singles title in three years, defeating defending champion and second seed Stefan Olsson of Sweden 7-5 6-2.

The women's singles final produced a comfortable victory for Gravellier, as the world number three clinched her first Nottingham Indoor title and her fourth singles title of 2009.

Breaks in the fourth and sixth games of the first set gave Gravellier the advantage over unseeded Dutchwoman Marjolein Buis, and she went on to record a 6-3 6-1 victory.
