Rising tennis stars emerge
Senior players have been encouraged to see the enthusiasm shown.
There have been some exciting times for some of the Ugu District’s emerging tennis stars.
Ugu Tennis Association recently sent two teams to the Rising Stars tournament held at Westridge Tennis Complex in Durban.
The girls’ team, consisting of Andrea Browne, Giorgie Murray, Summer Dyer and Olivia Browne, reached the finals where they won silver medals after going down to St Mary’s DSG.
“It’s aimed specifically at developing the youth in the sport at school level and plays an important part in the development of the sport,” said UTA president Sharon van der Schyff.
The boys made it to semi-finals where they lost to Westridge. The team comprised Callum Pearson, Daniel Davies, Tom Pearson and Tyler Algie.
Senior players have been encouraged to see the growth in the sport at the junior level and thanked Sharon and Richard for the many hours put in to make it happen.
