12 June 2012 | Tennis SA

Over 300 players converged on the courts of Memorial Drive and the Millswood Tennis Centre for the 2012 Tennis SA Queen’s Birthday Championships over the long weekend.

Comprising of a combination of a gold level Australian Money Tournament and white level Optus Junior Tour, the juniors had the opportunity to participate amongst some of the state’s best players.

Despite frosty starts in the mornings, fine weather all weekend meant that over 30 draws (main, qualifying and consolation) totalling nearly 600 matches were fully completed.

In the AMT Men’s event, Todd Ley continued his superb form in Tennis SA tournaments with his win over Li Tu in the final (6-2 6-4).  This win was a hat trick of Tennis SA hosted AMT events for Todd after winning the October Gold and November Silver tournaments at the end of last year.

Australian number 11, Bojana Bobusic, was red hot favourite going into the AMT Women’s singles, but Amy Sneath pulled off a 3 set win in the semis and carried this form into the final taking it out 6-2 6-2 over Chloe Hule.
