Team Victoria have placed second overall at the 2020 Judy Dalton Cup, going down to winners, New South Wales, by only three sets at the Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club.

Tennis Victoria, in conjunction with the Women’s Tennis Foundation and the Kooyong Foundation hosted the event from 20 – 23 January, hosting 28 rural and regional players and 14 team managers from across Australia.

Judy Dalton, alongside with Brigette McGuire (Women’s Tennis Foundation), Peter Quinn (Kooyong Foundation) and Ruth Holdaway (Tennis Victoria) welcomed all the teams with hosting an opening ceremony.

 Chelsea Elliott (R) was awarded the Most Outstanding Female Player of the Tournament. 

Each team played seven rounds in a round robin format, consisting of four singles and two mixed doubles. All athletes were also lucky enough to be provided the opportunity to attend the Australian Open.

Congratulations to Team Victoria and each of the teams that competed.
