Toby Churchill kept his crown as men's singles champion and Natasha Greenham is the new women's champ.

These were the top results from the Walmer Open week, the unofficial tennis tournament of east Kent.

The competition, at the Walmer Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Archery Square, has been held since 1903.
