The Anzac day tournament kicked off with Xavier Wilson’s rousing bagpipe performance which was, to many, a highlight of the tournament itself. The tennis itself was a sight to behold however, and was hard fought by all throughout the day. The matches on the day were knockout and featured both singles and doubles. In the singles nobody could keep up with Rob Heath who proved to be the most consistent throughout the day. The final was a battle between Peter Eklund and Rob Heath who carried the day in a convincing win.

Earlier there were plenty of excellent matches in the round robin format.
