Back home, the Ugu ProKennex Masters tennis tournament will be held from Thursday, December 5, to Sunday, December 8, this year.
It’s a TSA-sanctioned event and carries national ranking points, attracting Masters players (over 30 years old) from all over the country.
Venues this year will be Umtentweni, Uvongo and Douglas Mitchell tennis clubs.
Ugu Tennis Association (UTA) has other things on the go as well at the moment. In other news, Ugu teams will be selected based on strength to play in the KZN Inter-District tournament in mid-November. This was a tournament Ugu won last year, and they will be keen to defend.
The inaugural UTA 50s Junior League (similar to the recently concluded 190s League) has gotten off to a good start, with six teams competing at Southbroom Tennis Club.
