Joseph Cook, who is coached at Chichester Tennis Academy based at Chichester Racquets & Fitness Club, came third.
Tournament referee Peter Cook said: “The tournament was played in extremely hot conditions, with on-court temperatures making it quite tough on such young players.
“Despite this, the matches were really close and competitive, which was excellent considering some were playing in their first LTA-staged event.”
