Ally after losing the first set to Holder 2-6, shifted into high gear with a 6-4 winner in the second and wasted no time in the third set with a quick 6-2 dismissal.
Ally has now claimed the first 18-and-under female title for the year.
Miller copped his second title with a 9-1 victory over Andy Goveia in the Boys’ 14-and-under class. He had won the Boys’ 12 and under title on Sunday.
In other results, the pair of Nicholas Fenty and Peabo Lewis claimed a two-set win against Adam Alves and Jeremy Miller.
Alves/Miller had taken the first set 6-4, but lost the remaining two 3-6, 1-6.
In the Boys’ 18-and-under division, Miller will meet Fenty on Sunday at 15:00 hrs.
Organiser of the competition, Diwani Lewis, said that after the work put in by the players they were exhausted and as a result the decision was taken to shift the final to a later date.
In the semifinals, Miller defeated Zico Bruce 9-2, while Fenty got past Alves 9-7.
Following the finals at Le Meridien, Pegasus on Sunday, the winners will be presented with their prizes.
The Baker and Giles families of the Guyanese/South Florida Association and Robert Persaud of Robert’s Jewellery also sponsored the competition.
