Amazon queens court success

Amazon queens court success

Racing may be the sport of kings, but what about the queens? For at least one modern day group of Amazon queens, tennis is the sport of choice.

Derived from the French word tenez, take heed, it is indeed an apt warning to watch out for these first ladies of the game, the Amazon tennis group.

Formed 10 years ago, it has been a decade of friendly socials and skillful doubles competitions held specifically for lesbians interested in taking up the sport.

Three months ago Tuyet Le, along with two friends, took over the organising role for the club, and now they are trying to encourage more young women to get involved. If you have ever dreamed of being an Amazon, this is your chance.

We want to try and inject a bit more energy and try to grow the group at the moment, Le told Sydney Star Observer about the club’s ambitions to boost its competition numbers in the coming season.

When I first joined, about a year ago, a lot of the players were a bit older so while we’re completely happy with the older members we also want to get a couple of younger people in to get a good mix of ages, to make it more lively and fun.

If competition isn’t your thing, or you feel like you might need some time to limber up that backhand you haven’t rehearsed since school, there is the option of first joining the social tennis group which runs on Sundays.

We want to be able to run a lot more social events, which are associated with the tennis club, Le
said.

It’s not just about tennis, it’s also about having dinners and social drinks, because Amazons is casual. Even though there’s a competition, it’s more competition for fun as opposed to being serious.

It’s a great way to meet new friends, particularly with doubles tennis. You get to find new groups of friends.
