London Academy January 2 Star Results

Nishil Shah retained his Under 15 Boys title in our first 2 Star of 2026.

He joined Jacob Dennison, Bethany Yang, Zach Sarri & Serene Rahmani-Walentynska, as our first winners of the new year.

Under 15 Boys

Nishil Shah won his second Under 15 title in a row by beating 5th seed Adam Riadi in 5 sets in the Final. With the top seed having dropped out with injury, Yorkshire's Harry Tomlinson became the favourite on paper.

However, he went out in the Semi-finals to Shah, also in 5 sets. Adam reached the final by narrowly beating Parsia Ashani, also in 5 sets, in the other Semi-final.

Under 15 Girls

Serene Rahmani-Walentynska took the Under 15 Girls with a 4 set win over her team mate, Ruby Gandi Bamidele. Serene reach the final by beating Samar Benmhamedi in the Semis, while Ruby beat Isabelly Lorrana.

Under 13 Boys

Zach Sarri had a successful return to the Under 13 Boys division, beating December's winner Christopher Darby in 5 sets. To reach the final, Zach had to overcome the top seed, Lev Sahmurov, in the semi-finals, whereas Christopher needed 5 set to overcome a determined Daniel Pavia.

Under 13 Girls

Bethany Yang took the gold by beating Alexia Ciobanica in straight sets. Bethany beat Tejasri Naeula in straight sets to reach the final. Alexia needed 4 sets to get past Suhayla Ali Farah in the other Semi.

Under 11 Mixed

Jacob Dennison traveled from Lancashire to London and took the gold with a clean sweep of the Under 11 Division. He only lost 1 set in 8 matches throughout the day. That single dropped set came in his final match against runner-up Daniyal Janmohamed.
