\u201cThis year\u2019s tournament has the highest number of junior wheelchair participants that we have ever seen at an ITF Futures level before,\u201d said Tournament Director Daniel O\u2019Neill<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThis is reflective of the great role models we\u2019ve had in the sport in recent times like Dylan Alcott, Heath Davidson and Ben Weekes. Their success has inspired a noticeable amount of junior players to join the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe tournament will also be played on clay courts for the first time ever, which will be a great lead in for our players headed to Europe for tournaments on the clay courts.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The ITF event will see Men, Women and Juniors compete on court.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ITF Melbourne Wheelchair Classic media opportunity<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Date:<\/strong> 14 \u2013 16 April<\/p>\n Location<\/strong>: National Tennis Centre, Melbourne Park, Olympic Boulevard, Melbourne<\/p>\n <\/p>\n RSVP:<\/strong> Please RSVP attendance and requests to Kayla Millhouse, +61 466 432 683, \u00a0kayla.millhouse@tennis.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
