Tennis Victoria will begin the Summer of Tennis with the Tennis Victoria Premier League back in 2020.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With team selections announced today, Premier League will attract a large number of stars to light up Albert Reserve in Melbourne from November 27-29. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a new format for 2020, players will compete in multiple rounds across three days of competition. Players will also compete in three singles matches in best of two set rubbers, and a ten-point tiebreaker if the match goes to a third set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Men\u2019s Division, MCC Glen Iris Valley will be aiming to make it four straight premierships in 2020. This would equal Grace Park Hawthorn\u2019s record in 2016.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MCC Glen Iris Valley Captain Aaron Addison said \u201cIt\u2019s been a really challenging year for a lot of people in general but definitely for players as well! Now that we are out of lockdown I know that everyone is extremely excited to play Premier League, albeit in the reduced format this year. For us at MCC Glen Iris Valley it\u2019s a great opportunity to go for our fourth title in a row and hopefully we can find a way to get over the line this weekend.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
