Antigua St. John’s – D’Jeri Raymond continued her winning streak by capturing the Girls U14 singles and doubles titles at the International Tennis Association’s Jr. Tournament in Jamaica.

On Tuesday, Raymond and her doubles partner Shaeda Nickle of Jamaica defeated the doubles team of IIana Blackwood (BAR)/ Stephanie Davis (JAM) 6-1, 6-4. Raymond was not as victorious in her final match on Wednesday, as she went down to IIana Blackwood of Barbados 6-2, 5-7 after retiring in the third set.

However, Raymond still had the edge as not having lost any of her prior matches, her win/loss stats were the deciding factor in the playoff competition.
