India Schreiber took home bragging rights over younger brother Boyd at the City Of Wagga Open on Monday.

After coming through a tough three setter against Wagga veteran Brenda Foster on Sunday, the top seed was forced to come from behind against Marqaylar Tere in the women's final.
After dropping the first set 6-3, Schreiber used a toilet break to her advantage to change the momentum of the clash.
The 17-year-old dominated the second set, taking it 6-1, to force the match into the super tiebreak.
The Sydney teen then jumped out to a 7-1 before the nerves took hold.
Tere was able to level things at 8-all before a costly double fault gave Schreiber a match point.
Another error from Tere was enough for Schreiber to take the title.
She was thrilled to score her biggest win yet.
"It was a really good match, we both had a couple of ups and downs, but thankfully I got there in the end," Schreiber said.
"In the second set I went to the bathroom, got myself together a little bit as it's never good losing the first set and just made sure to get the first game to hopefully get on a bit of a roll which thankfully I did.
"I was just trying to make as many balls as possible as I think we have similar game styles - it's either a winner or not."

However her younger brother couldn't replicate the same result in his final against top seed Charlie Snow.
Snow dominated his rivals throughout the tournament with the 6-3 6-2 win over Schreiber the closest of his five matches.
The Canberra product only dropped a maximum of two games in each of his first four encounters including a 6-2 6-0 win over Adrian Sanasi in the semi-final earlier in the morning.
He was pleased with his return to competitive tennis.
"It was great to get out here and play after COVID had shut down everything," Snow said.

"It was awesome to get back out here and compete and Wagga has done a really awesome job throughout the last three days.
"I was super happy to come down and be lucky enough to take it out."
With his sights set on qualifying for an International Tennis Federation juniors event in Melbourne next month, Snow hopes his Wagga success can help him build into a busy summer program.
"This one of my better wins in the adult leagues, playing in an AMT there is a bit of money here, which is always a bit of a spur on," he said.
"Hopefully it can lead into a big summer."
