Charles Broom entered the ITF event in Canada and was the second seed. In the first round Broom was against Canadian Marko Stakusic. The Brit dominated the first set, as Stakusic was unable to hold serve. The second set was slightly closer, as the Canadian managed to find his game. Eventually, Broom broke serve and moved into the next round in straight sets 6-0, 6-3.
The second round saw Broom against Candian Wildcard Junghee You. The Brit dominated from the outset. You was unable to prevent the second seed from breaking serve in the first set to take the lead. The second set was more of the same as the Canadian was unable to get anything on the serve of the Brit. Broom moved into the next round in straight sets 6-2, 6-2.
In the quarter-final Broom was against Dan Martin. The Candian had knocked out the sixth seed in the first round, so could have proved a challenge. However, the Brit dominated the first set, breaking more or less at will to take the lead. The second set was slightly closer, as Martin managed to hold serve. Eventually, Broom broke serve and took the win 6-2, 6-4.
The semi-final pitched Broom against fourth seed Strong Kirchheimer. The American stayed with the Brit in the first set before Broom managed to break serve to take the lead. The second set saw Broom dominate the fourth seed, who struggled on serve. The Brit took the match in straight sets 6-4, 6-2.
In the final Broom was against Tunisian top seed Aziz Dougaz. The top seed and Broom fought hard in the first set, before a tiebreak ensued. Dougaz edged through the breaker and took the lead. Broom re-grouped in the second set and broke Dougaz to level up the match. The final set saw the Brit dominate again and lift the title 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-2.
