Grace Park Women Go National
Following the successful season in Premier League our ladies’ team was
included in Tennis Australia’s inaugural National League competition which was
held at Melbourne Park during the second week of the Australian Open.
Blessed with great weather and the hype of the Open it was great experience for
the girls, playing on a national stage complete with umpires, linesmen and ball
boys.
Our first match was against Henman’s Park/Midlands Lawn from Western Australia
which was a 6/0 drubbing (2 doubles and 4 singles) for our girls. Unfortunately
Stacey Kyriakopolous pulled a stomach muscle and was unable to play in our
second match. She was replaced by Nicolette Proctor, our 2010 Ladies’ Club
Champion.
The second match against Flagstaff Freighters from South Australia was a long
and even contest, being 2 all after the doubles rubbers and again equal after
the first and seconded singles matches. Unfortunately Gussie O’Sullivan lost a
long, tough struggle at number 3 and Nicolette was defeated at number 4.
Flagstaff then went on to be runners up to Kooyong in the final.
Summing up - a great innovative by Tennis Australia and a fantastic experience
for all of the girls.
