Catch-up on all the results from June 3 below:

➡ MEN:

Fawkner continue to go from strength to strength, downing fellow title aspirants Kooyong 5-1 to preserve their unbeaten start to the season. It was a comprehensive performance from the club in the north west suburbs, with all 5 rubber wins coming in straight sets.

Elsewhere, Tennis World have won three on the bounce, with an impressive 5-1 victory over MCC Glen Iris Valley moving them into 3^rd position. Despite the seemingly one sided scoreline, five of the six rubbers went to match tiebreakers, indicating that the match could’ve gone either way.

Grace Park Hawthorn Club, aided by the inclusion of US College player Enzo Aguiard won 4-2 at North Ringwood, and Aaron Leeder-Chard’s strong performance at #1 Singles spearheaded his RSY team to a 4-2 triumph over Eildon Park.
