The 2022 edition of Premier League officially began with the Men\u2019s competition held at Hume Tennis and Community Centre and the Women\u2019s held at Bundoora Tennis Club.<\/p>\n
Split across two venues, the players and spectators enjoyed an evening of uninterrupted sunshine and great tennis!<\/p>\n
At Bundoora, the home side got off to the perfect start, with Elicia Kim and Christina Dodaj winning a tight tussle over MCC Glen Iris\u2019 Isabella Crossman and Scarlett Dattoli. MCC bounced back however, thanks to a dominant win from Alana Parnaby and a well-fought win from Monique Barry.<\/p>\n
Royal South Yarra and Kooyong also emerged victorious in the doubles, continuing their good form from 2021. Erica Layton and Pias Wongteanchai made it a perfect rubber for RSY, winning their singles matches against Harkaway in straight sets.<\/p>\n
Kooyong\u2019s Gabriella Villegas made a statement with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Miranda Poile, while Zuzana Zlochova proved too good in her clash against Belinda Woolcock, claiming Grace Park\u2019s only rubber.<\/p>\n
Over at Hume, Beaumaris led by impressive straight sets singles wins from Alex Babanine and Omar Fields defeated Royal South Yarra 3-0 and Kooyong brought the heat against RMIT Bundoora with Jacob Grills, David Hough and doubles pair David Bidmeade and Jeremy Taylor all winning in straight sets.<\/p>\n
In the closest of the three contests, MCC won 2-1 against Hume after Aaron Addison defeated Talic Zaharije 6-0, 6-1.<\/p>\n
Round 2 continues tomorrow at MCC Glen Iris Valley hosting both the Women’s and Men’s Divisions.<\/p>\n
