2020 HTC OPEN CLUB CHAMPION
Congratulations to our new club champion, Dimitir Bagaric, aged 12. Already ranked in the top 5 in his age bracket, young Dimitri has a very consistent game and is developing magnificently under club coach, Michael Logarzo. Needless to say, Dimitri would be our youngest champion in our 107 year club history and a long the way beat many of our existing pennant players. Dimitri started coaching here under then coach, David Pieta who was defeated in the final 6-4- 6-1. No doubt the challenge for the old crew will be to get fitter..... well done Dimitri. Thanks to all who came to support both players. The 2021 Championships will be very interesting.

2018 OPEN TOURNAMENT WINNER
Some excellent tennis was played over the last couple of months in our Open Tournament. The winner this week was David Pieta over Jesse Taylor in 3 sets. David has been club champion for something like 10 times and so we welcome more members to enter this highly prized tournament. It was also the first year we had a lady player in the draw given her pennant experience so although Airlie made the semi's also to lose in 3 to Jesse it was a marvellous field of 16. Also playing were coach Diego and new members Nick and Josh.
australian open : CONGRATS TO OUR CLUB COACH AND STAR PUPIl ZOE HIVEs
Zoe and Michael have had a great summer leading to a wild card into the Brisbane International followed by wild cards into the Hobart and then the Australian Open Ladies Singles, Doubles and Mixed. In singles Zoe made round 2 and here she is with Michael in blue. Hawksburn wishes Zoe well on what we hope is the start of an interesting 2019 and with these solid performances and improved ranking she may well make the qualifying rounds and even the main draws of the next three majors. Another star pupil Dimitri Bagaric had a great tournament win over Lleyton Hewitt's son and this young man is the club's most enthusiastic juniors hitting nearly every day with dad Mirko. This is not only good coaching but excellent dedication to seeing a passion is given the best possible chance to develop into something very special.
2017 Club champion jesse taylor
This years tournament was a very tight affair featuring some quality players as evidenced by all matches leading to the finals being won in 3 sets.
Mirko showed us all that fitness was paramount with some major come back wins after losing the first set.
In the final it seemed like this might have been the case once again with Jesse, having won the first was 0-3 down with break points against him a few times to be 0-4. As play would have it the game turned and the final was 6/3 6/4.
As you can see smiles all round for a well fought out final and congratulations to Jesse on the win and Mirko on being a tough competitor. We all need to get fitter next year!!!!

Summer Court Care
Correct shoes must be worn at all times during play. The herringbone pattern such as a Dunlop Volley are ideal. Runners with knobby soles damage the court. Dust control is always an issue and courts must be watered before bagging, even after bagging, prior to after each set. Often it is advisable to water during a set in very hot or windy conditions. It is important to prevent the loss of en tout cas and minmise dust affecting our neighbours.
