Halesowen’s Jordanne Whiley couldn't clinch victory despite making it three finals out of four events in the USA last weekend.

She finished runner-up in both the women’s singles and doubles at the Cajun Classic Wheelchair Tennis Tournament in Baton Rouge.

After partnering fellow Brit Lucy Shuker to the women’s doubles title at the Pensacola Open two weeks ago, Whiley had Shuker on the opposite side of the net in both singles and doubles in Baton Rouge. Whiley reached the singles semi-finals for the loss of just four games to ensure that one Brit on the Tennis Foundation’s Wheelchair Tennis Performance Programme would be in the final and the British number one and world number five went on to edge ahead of world No. 10 Shuker 8-7 in their international career head-to-head after winning their singles semi-final 6-4, 4-6, 6-1.

A fine effort to land the title ended in a 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 loss to German world number four and top seed Sabine Ellerbrock in Sunday’s final and later in the day Ellerbrock and Shuker were both on the other side of the net in the women’s doubles final.

Whiley partnered Marjolein Buis of the Netherlands to the final in their first tournament together since 2010, but a second doubles title in as many weeks proved elusive for the five-time Grand champion as Ellerbrock and Shuker took the decider 6-3, 7-6(5).

“It was a really close fight against Sabine in the singles final and I know what I did wrong, but Sabine really well,” said Whiley. “I'm proud of my spirit and I know what I have to work on in training. I also had a little shoulder niggle in the finals which prevented me from serving as I’d have liked to, so I think I did well considering that and all in all it’s been a good two weeks. I wasn’t at my best in Pensacola and still took Marjolein, who is world number six, to three sets and won another doubles title. Baton Rouge was better, but I know I can play even better.”
