American Tournament results 2024

Tournaments

Our American Tournaments continue to be popular. Maybe it is the mix and match format where pairings are decided at random each round, or maybe it is the lovely teas, or maybe just an opportunity to play some competitive tennis in a more relaxed social setting. This year, we only held three of them as the one scheduled for the early May public holiday was a total wash-out.

Here are the results

Our August tournament runs on slightly different rules and players are competing for the Albany Trophy.

Well done to Diane Doyle, playing an American for the first time, and Chris Cole as winners.

ADLTA results : Summer 2024

League

You may remember the summer of 2024 – it rained and then it rained again. Alison Jameson, our fixtures secretary, had a huge job fitting in all the re-arrangements, with the season extending well into August. Thank you Alison!

It had been decided at the ADLTA AGM to run the Summer league in the same format as the Winter league, namely having teams of 4 playing the best of 3 sets in each match rather than teams of 6 playing just one set.

We only had the one division winner this season : Mixed B in Division 1. We did though also have second places for Mens A , Ladies A and Mixed A all in their respective Premier divisions.

The club has some excellent Juniors and they were given the opportunity to play in the Mens B team. Year 12 student, Jacob Diskin, was third placed in the players standings. Well done Jacob.
