Renwick CPR will meet Rapaura Wairau River Blanc in tonight's Winebrokers NZ premier tennis final.

Both sides underlined their claim to a place in the decider with 4-2 victories in last week’s final round robin clashes.

Renwick overcame Forrest Wines Marlborough despite losing the top doubles match, Cameron Lyons and Jay Geris getting up to defeat the Sandford-Jury siblings, Oscar and Joseph, 7-6, 7-5.

A default win to the Renwick mixed combination of Daniel Riordan and Meiko Kimura set Marlborough on the back foot, then Renwick consolidated in the singles, wins to the Sandford-Jury brothers and Kimura ensuring victory.

Blanc bagged wins in both doubles matches to set up their win.

Ant Walkenhorst and Hugh Robinson beat Blair Harvey and Jared Bell 6-4, 6-3, then Glen Cameron and Donna Clark accounted for Brendon Sutherland and Ella Sowman 6-1, 6-3.

Sowman scored a consolation win over Clark in the singles, but wins to Walkenhorst and Cameron sealed the deal and place in the decider.

In division two, Marlborough Nga Hau Wha defeated Renwick Rallycats 6-0 and won the round robin competition.

They will play Marlborough Next Gen in Wednesday’s final after they defeated Rapaura Wairau River Rose.
