Tennis Victoria Pennant returns in 2023 for its 140<\/span>th<\/span> year. And to celebrate, we are excited to announce the return of State Grade.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

State Grade was a feature of Tennis Victoria\u2019s Competitive Play program before the emergence of Tennis Victoria Premier League and the Asia-Pacific Tennis League. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With Tennis Victoria Pennant celebrating its 140<\/span>th<\/span> year, it\u2019s the perfect time to re-launch State Grade.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tennis Victoria CEO Adam Crameri is excited to see State Grade return. \u201cWe know State Grade was hugely popular and we hope to see that passion for the competition return in 2023. Tennis Victoria Pennant is celebrating its 140<\/span>th<\/span> year and adding State Grade to the competition playing opportunities will cater for the high-performance Victorian tennis athletes in our community.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So what will State Grade bring to the competition landscape in Victoria?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tennis Victoria Competitions Lead Nat Allsop said \u201cWe\u2019ve listened to the players and we\u2019re excited to bring State Grade back. State Grade will offer players longer competitive play with best of two doubles and singles rubbers. We\u2019ll be offering two super rounds which have proved very popular in Premier League and will give all State Grade players an opportunity to play at the one venue together.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Commencing on Saturday 3 May 2023, State Grade will feature 8 Teams across both the Women\u2019s and Men\u2019s competitions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Registrations for Tennis Victoria Pennant, including State Grade open on Monday 6 February 2023<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
