Players from NSW are taking part in the UTR Junior State Performance Championships, a new series event taking place at Gosford Tennis Centre from 6-19 December.
“While it’s been a tough year for tennis players, we
are fortunate in Australia that through UTR we’ve been able to continue to
provide competitive opportunities for both juniors and pro players,” UTR Junior
State Performance Championships manager Francis Soyer said.
“We know our junior players love any opportunity to
compete and come together with their peers, and we hope the UTR State
Performance Championships in each city provide a strong platform for juniors of
all ages to do so in a fun and competitive way,” Soyer added.
