A total of 150 participants from Australia, New Zealand, India, Japan, and Sri Lanka competed at the Sunshine Coast Masters Tour (MT400) Tournament at the Tewantin Tennis Club from Friday 15 September to Monday 18 September.
The tournament gives Australian players the opportunity to gather important points in order to contest the World Masters Championships held in Majorca, Spain in October.
“Conditions over the four days were perfect for tennis at Tewantin with sunny skies but mild temperatures,“ tournament director Gail Bates said.
“Contestants appreciated playing in the bushland setting at Tewantin during the day which allowed them to explore the restaurants and entertainment of Noosa at night. Thanks also goes to all the volunteers from the Tewantin Tennis Club who maintained the courts in excellent condition and assisted in making the event run smoothly”.
