The National Tennis Centre lit up with stunning matches on Saturday night, with the best of the best battling it out to become 2022 Premier League Champions.

Ballkids, officials, broadcast partners and players all descended on Melbourne Park for the 2022 Premier League Grand Final during a busy day for the precinct.

After a stellar season in both divisions, MCC Glen Iris made they way out onto court to contest both the Men’s and Women’s championships against Hume Tennis & Community Centre and Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club respectively.

The MCC Glen Iris Women finished an exceptional season in style and achieving a clean sweep! Alana Parnaby led the way with a commanding win over Gabriella Villegas, while Genevieve Lorbergs and Zoe Hives once again proved to be a forced to be reckoned with in the doubles. The match between Belinda Woolcock and Jaimee Fourlis was one for the ages, and Jaimee eventually prevailed after coming back from a set down to win in a classic tiebreak.

And the men followed suit, also completing the 3-0 clean sweep in their match up against Hume. Alex Bolt showed his prowess, defeating Mark Whitehouse 6-4, 6-0 in a battle of the serves. The doubles match was a tug-of-war between MCC’s Aaron Addison and Matthew Romios and Hume’s Dayne Kelly and Zaharije Taric. But MCC proved too good in all three rubbers, and were crowned Premier League champions for 2022!

Congratulations to both MCC teams and the runners up on an outstanding finish to an incredible season.

The end of season awards were also given out between divisions, with Bundoora Tennis Club and MCC Glen Iris Valley captain Aaron Addison both winning their respective awards for the second year running. You can see a full list of award winners below.
