TEENAGE star Sammie Moreton was in sensational form reaching four finals and winning three at this year's Hale Gardens Open junior tennis tournament.
Moreton was denied a magnificent quartet of wins by Bournemouth's Jennifer King in the under-16 final, losing 4-6, 1-6.
But the Winchester youngster was unstoppable defeating Susanne Chapman from Portsmouth, who had to retire through injury in the under-14 singles. She was leading 5-3 when Chapman withdrew.
Moreton then teamed up with Sian Roberts from Wimborne to retain the under-14 doubles title by defeating Ellie King and Emma Smith 6-1, 1-6, 6-4.
The hat-trick was completed in the under-18 mixed doubles where Moreton teamed with Mathhew Ward from Portsmouth to defeat German pair Max Raschke and Kristina Quindt 6-1, 3-6, 1-0.
In the boys' tournament, Danny Wyatt from Portsmouth was in fine form playing ten matches in a week and winning nine.
