Talia and Crystal spent a few weeks on the road with Tate competing at the December Showdown and had some fantastic outcomes. Playing a year out of her age group, Talia finished 5th in the 14s individual event, made quarters in the doubles, was undefeated at #1 for WA in the Teams event until the final against Japan, and had solid wins against 6 of the other best players in Australia along the way. Talia also received a wildcard into the 16s event (at 13!) where she had a win against a player in the top 150 in Australia. We congratulate Talia on what was an exceptional tour. Playing at least two years out of her age group, Crystal finished 9th at the Victorian Hardcourt Platinum AMT, and 9-1
Jaun Yum posted another win at Robertson Park this week winning the 10s singles. Mauhan Dass continued to enjoy improved results making the singles final and winning the doubles with Rijad Basic. Gayle Leong had a good week finishing 3rd in the 12s singles and making the doubles final with Layla Firns. It is now on to Mt. Lawley where the Brixtonators bring 25 players including intrepid coach Tate Roberts.
Alec Tasovac won 5 matches, winning 20 games losing only 2 on his way to a win in the 8s at the Junior Development Series event at Wembley Downs in early December. He will be moving into the 10s in the upcoming summer events. Well done Alec. and good luck over the summer!
Tara and Milla have been selected to represent West Australia at the National Super 10 event in Melbourne this year. The event is held during the Australian Open and features the best players from each state under 10 years old. It is an exciting event and an opportunity for the girls to see where they stand in their age group in the country. They will meet and establish relationships with girls that they will compete with years into the future. Brixton Tennis has a proud history with this event having had a player in the event every year since its inception in 2011; we congratulate the girls and thank them for carrying on a tradition.
