Tennis ready to serve up season

Officials have pencilled in October 10 for a start to Central Wimmera Tennis Association’s 2020-21 season.

Association president Jeremy Quast confirmed a season start for seniors and juniors based on the State Government’s latest recovery roadmap out of the COVID-19 pandemic.

He said officials hoped to finalise draws a week before the season start.

Mr Quast, also a professional tennis coach, said the association would have six more junior teams and an extra senior team this season in a development reflecting renewed interest in the traditional summer sport.

“People are keen to play,” he said.

“Clubs will have to do their COVID-safe plans. Obviously there will be no afternoon tea, people will need to keep a 1.5-metre distance from each other and there will be no shaking hands, or high fives in doubles, only racquet taps. 

“There will also be many other things players have to observe.

“But everyone is excited and keen to get going.”

This year’s season will see an extra two rounds of tennis, increasing from 14 to 16.

Mr Quast said people keen to play could still register to play the game.

“We generally have teams of four men and four women in seniors and three boys and three girls in juniors,” he said.

“People keen to get involved should email centralwimmerata@gmail.com and we can help them get into teams.”
