Over 32 South Australian athletes and 5 coaches travelled to Queensland in June/July to compete in varying tournaments that included 2 Platinum AMT’s, 2 Grade four ITF’s, a Platinum Junior State Championship and a Gold Junior tournament. Over the 6 tournaments in Queensland, South Australians produced some fantastic results taking out 5 singles titles, 6 doubles titles, 5 runner up’s in singles and 3 runner up’s in doubles.
National Academy Manager SA/NT Rohan Fisher was thrilled with the results. “We have had a fairly interrupted training block in Adelaide this winter with weather, so these results are quite outstanding” Fisher stated. National Academy Head Coach SA Milo Bradley believes “this is the best team tour performance” during his time in SA. Bradley wasparticularly upbeat on the results in Queensland due to the spread of results between females and males and also that the results were achieved throughout all age categories.
