Athlete Development Update
From our rising star juniors through to Nick Kyrgios, it has been a busy month for ACT players competing in tournaments across the country.
At the elite level, Kyrgios was part of the Australian team who thrilled the home crowds to make it through to the semifinals of the ATP Cup before falling to Spain. He then backed it up with a memorable fourth round run to the Australian Open before falling to world No.1 Rafael Nadal.
