The Canberra Velocity<\/strong> women surged to the top of the North Conference ladder with a 5-1 victory over the Sunshine Coast Breakers<\/strong>. However, it was mixed fortunes for the Canberra team, with the men losing 2-4, despite world number 30, Nick Kyrgios <\/strong>lining up for doubles.<\/p>\n

The Velocity women\u2019s team was strengthened by the return of world number 317 Alison Bai.<\/strong> Bai got the team off to a great start, defeating Kayla Mcphee<\/strong> in two tiebreak sets. Tyra Calderwood <\/strong>and Ashley Keir <\/strong>won in contrasting styles with Calderwood defeating Shan-Ying Barr <\/strong>4-2, 4-2, but Keir having to fight back from a set down to defeat Ella Husrefovic <\/strong>2-4, 4-2, 4-0. With the Velocity leading 3-0, Kaitlin Staines<\/strong> couldn\u2019t close the match out, losing to Somer Dalla-Bona <\/strong>4-3, 3-4, 4-0. The Velocity doubles pairings of Bai\/Keir and Calderwood\/Staines put the match beyond doubt, both winning in straight sets over Mcphee\/Dalla-Bona and Husrefovic\/Barr respectively.<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s match, the Velocity fell behind quickly losing the first 3 singles rubbers, before James Frawley<\/strong> continued his great form with a comfortable win over Luke Harvey<\/strong>, 4-2, 4-1. Kyrgios partnered with Daniel Guccione <\/strong>and after a slow start ran away with the match 1-4, 4-1, 5-0.
