Athlete Development Update – June<\/em><\/p>\n

Canberra\u2019s Annerly Poulos reached the third round of the French Open girls singles, becoming just the second Australian girl in 18 years to reach the final 16.<\/p>\n

The 16-year-old who is now based at the National Academy in Melbourne won a tight opening round match, before upsetting second seed and junior world No.8 Diane Parry (FRA).\u00a0 The win was even more impressive given Parry had received a wildcard into the women\u2019s singles event, winning her opening round and also making it through to the third round of the women\u2019s doubles.<\/p>\n

Poulos eventually fell to Daria Snigur (UKR) 6-4 6-3.\u00a0 The result has seen her rise to a career high world junior ranking of No.51, with Poulos set to compete in Wimbledon junior events later this month.<\/p>\n

Former National Academy Canberra scholarship holder, Kaitlin Staines, has concluded an outstanding second season in the US College system.\u00a0 Playing for the University of Tennessee, Staines and partner Sadie Hammond finished the season ranked 9th<\/sup> in the NCAA doubles rankings and earned All-American honours.\u00a0 Staines finished the season as the highest ranked Australian in the college system.<\/p>\n

Domestically, the June long weekend saw numerous ACT athletes post impressive results at tournaments across the country.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to the following players for their results over the past month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
