The annual Sunshine Coast Masters Tour (MT400) Tournament was held at the Tewantin Noosa Tennis Club from Friday 19 September to Monday 22 September and attracted 158 players. Eight participants ventured from New Zealand with most states of Australia represented. Players classified by age groups can gather ranking points towards international events.
In the Over 30s men’s singles, in a highly competitive match, coach at the Tewantin Noosa Tennis Club, Javier Oros defeated Robert Bartlett 6-2, 6-4. This was the first time in the tournament’s history that a Tewantin local has won this event. Javier said, “I was able to play consistently good tennis. Playing in the Noosa Open again at the Tewantin Noosa Tennis Club a fortnight ago, helped me physically to advance.”
Tournament Director, Gail Bates, said, “It is always a pleasure to bring this Masters MT400 tournament to the Tewantin Noosa Tennis Club. I’m always impressed with the quality of the courts which are a tribute to a Club which continues to maintain high standards. Thanks to all the volunteers who assisted in making this such a successful competition.”
