This year, for the first time, Tennis Seniors Auckland held an “Opening Day” tournament to launch the Tennis Seniors Season. We had nearly 40 members turn up for the event, and we were all blessed with glorious weather, together with some pretty good tennis!
The idea of the tournament was to try and get people playing with, and against, as many different fellow members as possible, and Feleti did a wonderful job of organising six short 25-minute rounds (both doubles and mixed doubles) over the course of a very enjoyable afternoon. The afternoon ended with pizzas from Sal’s and some fun banter over a few drinks.
Winners of this inaugural Opening Day tournament were decided on the basis of total points won over the entire afternoon, with this year’s trophies going to Steve Parkinson and Diana Loussouarn. Congratulations to both of you!
