After finishing the 2017-18 season on top of the ladder and posting a convincing win against Royal Kings Park Tennis Club in the semi-finals, Cottesloe failed to capitalise on the home court advantage with their only win coming from number one player Tristan Schoolkate<\/strong> who defeated Mosman Park’s Aaron Leeder-Chard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Despite dropping the first set 2-6, 17 year old Schoolkate wasn’t going down easily. Schoolkate tore through the second set 6-3 before the third set went to a thrilling tie-break 7-6(5).<\/p>\n
