The 2016 Tennis Victoria Players with an Intellectual disability (PWID) tournament concluded at the weekend, at Tennis World Albert Reserve.

Mitch James (QLD) and Kelly Wren (NSW) defended their singles titles both in straight sets. James beat his doubles partner Zvi Schweitzer (VIC) while Wren defeated no 2 seed Carla Lenarduzzi (VIC).

Wren also defended her doubles title partnering with Victorian Sharon Morse while James and Schweitzer accounted for (2) Alex Baker (QLD) and Philip J Mahoney (VIC).

“To see these players battle it out on court in strong winds and trying conditions was fantastic. All in attendance were enthralled by every player’s efforts and determination to success but also to enjoy the moment and the Tournament,” said Tennis Victoria’s Tournaments and Events manager Andy Reynolds.

The players now have the chance to play the South Australian PWID Tournament followed by the Australian Nationals in Melbourne during the Australian Open 2017.
