The 2025 D\u2019Arcy Slater and Women in Tennis (WIT) Foundation Cup wrapped up in Bunbury this week for both the team and individual events drawing a record number of entries again.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A record number of 155 players came from all over the state of Western Australia with participants coming from as far south as Albany, as far north as Broome and as far east as Esperance and Merredin\u00a0making the journey to Bunbury Tennis Club for four days of competition.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A total of 754 matches were played over the four days across all divisions. In the Boy\u2019s D\u2019Arcy Slater Cup, Lower Great Southern went back-to-back in the teams competition over South West 1. Like last year, Upper Great Southern edged out South West 2 for the bronze spot.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Girls Women in Tennis Foundation Cup, Lower Great Southern won their third consecutive teams title with South West girls going one better than last year finishing in the Silver Medal position and Central Districts\u00a0coming in third.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the prestigious individual event of the D\u2019Arcy Slater Cup, last year\u2019s winner Denby Sharpe from Albany (Lower Great Southern) prevailed over Dylan Stone\u00a0from the Lower Great Southern\u00a0to claim his fourth title. The winner and finalist both received a scholarship for their tennis development thanks to the D\u2019Arcy Slater Foundation.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the girl\u2019s WIT Foundation Cup, Tea Zizek from Albany (Lower Great Southern) won her third title overcoming Leila Cordero from South West in straight sets.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Going on from last year, the D\u2019Arcy Slater Foundation offered a scholarship for the winner and finalist. The scholarship recipients will receive financial support for tennis expenses including tournament travel, coaching and event entry costs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tennis West Tournament Director Brad Ladyman praised the increase in numbers and community support behind this tournament.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was fantastic to host this year\u2019s event at\u00a0Bunbury Tennis Club, especially seeing the growth in participation from regional players across the state \u2014 from Broome to Esperance.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe record-breaking numbers is a fantastic result for regional junior tennis development pathways.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTennis West truly appreciates the incredible efforts of our regional coordinators and coaches who make it possible for these teams to attend. Special mention to Andrew Woodward and the team from the Bunbury Tennis Club who did a mountain of work to get the event up and running. Congratulations to Lower Great Southern for an outstanding performance, taking out both the D’Arcy Slater Cup and the Women in Tennis Foundation Cup,\u201d said Brad.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This event would not be possible without the great support of the D\u2019Arcy Slater and Women\u2019s in Tennis Foundation.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Supporting the D\u2019Arcy Slater Cup since 2004, the D\u2019Arcy Slater Foundation continues to do so in recognition of D\u2019Arcy\u2019s great love of tennis. D\u2019Arcy, who tragically drowned in the flooded Helena River in 1991, was an enthusiastic member of the Goomalling Tennis Club, the Guildford Grammar School Preparatory School tennis team and the Captain of tennis in year 8. The Foundation\u2019s sponsorship is country focused in recognition of D\u2019Arcy\u2019s enjoyment of playing country tennis tournaments.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Supporting the Foundation Cup since 2002, Women in Tennis continue to champion for opportunities in tennis for all female players including players within both metropolitan and regional WA.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
