The Social Serve: Aussies support their peers
Social media sleuth Joel Smith digs up the best of tennis in the social stratosphere this week.
Melbourne VIC, Australia, 16 April 2015 | tennis.com.au
Whether you are in Shepparton or the Netherlands, watching on TV or not watching TV – Twitter continues to keep fans updated on their favourite players including …
… our Junior Davis and Fed Cup teams who cruised to victory in the Asia/Oceania qualifying finals in Shepparton. The support from their fellow Aussie tennis players was great to see.
Good luck to all the Aussies competing at @SheppLawnTennis Junior Davis and Fed Cup events this week! Enjoy my home town of #Tatura #cmon
