Three consecutive weekends of tennis have kick started the ANZ Junior Development Series (JDS) for 2019.  With over 100 juniors participating in each event, the introductory level tournaments offered round robin singles and doubles across a number of age groups.

The South Canberra Junior Open was held on 16-17 February, the Melba Junior Open on 23-24 February and the North Woden Junior Open on 2-3 March.

Tennis ACT Participation Manager, Lenka Greenhalgh is pleased to see so many juniors participating across the capital.

“The ANZ JDS provides the perfect introduction to tournament play for our juniors.

“It has been great to see such strong numbers across the first three events of the year, and we hope to see the numbers continue to grow throughout 2019.

“Thank to you the tournament directors of each event who have done an outstanding job, and to the club volunteers and officials who have helped deliver the events”.

The next event will be the Tennis World Canberra Junior Open from 27-28 April with the full calendar available here.
