JASMINE Billingy emerged as the new National Women’s Singles Champion when the Guyana Table Tennis Association held its Senior National Championships at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.

Jasmine Billingy after a bye, faced off with Seona Barker in the quarter finals, which she won in straight sets 11-6, 11-10 and 11-4.

In the semis she battled one of her strongest foes in child prodigy Navaeh Clarkston.

Billingy won the first set 11-7, but Clarkston, with her trademark scream, stepped up to win the second set 11-3 in dominating fashion.

However, as was the case in the women’s doubles, Billingy settled her nerves to flip the script once again.

She went on to win the next two sets 11-9 and 11-5 to advance to the final.

In the final Billingy battled a familiar opposition in her women doubles partner Samara Sukhai.

Sukhai had some good moments of play in the match with some long rallies, but Billingy knew her opponent’s game too well to take the five-set affair in three straight sets

She eased to a 11-9 first-set win, then the second went to 15 after a deuce, but she kept the momentum to win the third set 11-4 to claim the women’s national title to go with her women’s doubles crown.

Meanwhile in the B-class open finals, Malachi Moore beat Colin Wong 3-1 to be crowned champion.
