WDTA Grand Final
by Jonny Rowan
Congratulations to Billy, Freddie, Louis, Ben and James for making the Grand Final of the WDTA Winter Competition on Saturday morning.
The boys put together some fantastic tennis and looked firmly in control, taking a 3–0 lead and playing with great intensity and confidence.
Unfortunately, a lengthy injury interruption changed the rhythm of the match. We lost a little of our intensity, while our opponents lifted their level and the momentum began to shift.
From there, it became an incredibly tight battle. The match finished 3–3 in sets and 30–29 in games — just one game separating the teams.
It’s a tough one to take after being so close, but it’s also a brilliant lesson in how quickly sport can change. The boys showed plenty of fight, and there’s a lot we can take from the experience.
We’ll learn from it, come back stronger and be ready for the next one!
