Tennis Victoria is pleased to announce the selected clubs for the upcoming 2015 Tennis Victoria Premier League season. Commencing on Saturday 14 March and concluding on Sunday 19 April, the season will feature five rounds, semi finals and finals.
Clubs will compete for the the $5000 winners cheque and $2000 runners up cheque in both the men’s and women’s leagues, an increase in prize money from 2014.
The league will feature a quality field of players with ITF Pro Tour level players Dane Propoggia, Andrew Whittington, Rubin Statham and former Davis Cup player Peter Luczak headlining the men’s competition. The women’s draw will see Viktorija Rajicic, Alison Bai, Destanee Aiava and Sally Peers highlighting the standard of Premier League in Victoria.
Tennis Victoria’s Competitions Manager Jeff Downes is excited by the competition ahead “the schedule has been specifically designed to avoid clashes with the ITF Pro Tour and AMT Platinum’s to attract higher level players. The quality of players assembling is promising for the competition and local tennis communities. It is one of the most prestigious months on the Tennis Victoria calendar”.
Grace Park has returned to defend their title in the Men’s competition, and the MCC Tennis Section are hoping to go one better in 2015 after a narrow loss to Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club in the 2014 women’s final.
