We are very excited to announce the Tasmanian Tennis League (TTL) pilot beginning tomorrow at the Rosny Park Tennis Club. This three week trial in Hobart and surrounds features some of the very best current and future tennis players from the South region of Tasmania.

Headlining this premier competition for the men is the standout trio of Richard Wynwood, Peter Leary and Rohan Kerr. All three of these men are accomplished tennis players with Wynwood claiming a career high International Tennis Federation (ITF) Seniors ranking of 103, Leary playing in the Burnie International (where he faced current world number 74 Marinko Matosovic) and Kerr obtaining a career high ITF Seniors ranking of 20 in the world.

On the women’s side junior standout Catherine Krueger headlines the list with Kathryn Easther.
