WTC Country Carnival

5-10 January 2013

The WTC Country Carnival is an event that has a long and very proud history in South Australia. It is an opportunity for players to represent their Association and participate in a competitive yet fun and enjoyable environment. The WTC Country Carnival is South Australia’s showcase event for regional affiliates and their members.

After the successful addition of the World Tennis Challenge, the week has proven to be an opportunity for the country tennis community to play and participate, then attend South Australia’s feature international tennis event.

The WTC Country Carnival is a grassroots team tennis participation event, with players graded into appropriate standards pending recommendation from their association.
