I recently went along for a hit with the guys from Tennis Sydney and was made very welcome. If the genuine warm, open reception is a guide to what to expect of the Tournament it will be a huge event that is lots of fun, and just quietly, a little competitive too. After all it comes hard on the heel of Sarina and the Feds Aussie Open wins.
Well done on revamping gay tennis in Sydney.
