A cracking day of non-stop tennis was on display in the annual event for the Jim Bailey Cup. We are so lucky to have a good spread of keen juniors who turn up on time, are respectful of the etiquette of the game, and play in an enthusiastic manner.

The International Women’s Day tournament had a good turnout with 8 women, including the Pro Shop’s very own Kate Leeming, on court in a mixed pairing competition which meant players played with a different partner each set. In the end Peta Allsopp was declared the winner by virtue of a countback and having a better ratio of games won over games lost.

In the Australian Amateur Doubles Championship, Kieran Booth maintained his stranglehold on the title having now won 13 of the last 15 editions with 6 different partners. It was Ben Hudson’s first major title in Australia, hopefully the first of many as his level continues to improve.

Two teams of players arrived from Hobart ready to tackle the RMTC in the Percy Finch, a tournament that has been played between Melbourne and Hobart for decades. With matches starting on Friday night and running the way through until Monday afternoon it was a long weekend of tennis and fully justified its billing as one of the most tightly fought rivalries in tennis. Many of the matches across the weekend were close, with sets and matches decided by a few points either way.

The Old Scholars is a tournament with a long history and much pedigree, and this year didn’t disappoint at all. After a very willing morning of tennis four pairs of players progressed, once again a countback was required to determine which pairs would make it, and finals were played. This year’s finals were comprehensive with Scotch College’s Hamish Tadgell and Michael Hurley proving victorious over Wendy Whitehead and Tim Raw.
