Canberra’s part in the Australian Summer of Tennis is due to start this weekend, as the East Hotel Canberra Challenger descends on the nation’s capital from 7-14 January.
Facilitated locally by Tennis ACT, the $75,000 Challenger level tournament has attracted some of the world’s best male tennis players including world No. 63 Jan-Lennard Struff (GER) Israel’s number 1 tennis player, Dudi Sela (ISR) and the man with the world’s fastest serve, Aussie star Sam Groth (NSW).
Players will grace the plexipave hard courts at the Canberra Tennis Centre in Lyneham, ready for hot, dry and mostly sunny Canberra conditions the week before the Australian Open 2017.
Entry to the Canberra Tennis Centre is FREE for spectators, with a gold coin donation on finals day – Saturday 14 January.
