Players Find Recent Tournament Success
Over the last five years Cooper Tennis has hosted an Adult Tournament the first weekend of January. With limited indoor courts available a modified version of FAST4 was used to reduce the average length of matches and ensure the tournament was completed in one day.
Fast4 is also used during the same time at the Hopman Cup in Perth, Australia during a similar time. The popularity of the format continues to increase.
Congratulations to the following champions:
7.0 & Below Womens Doubles Team: Susy Barr & Peggy Lindsey
Mens Open Doubles Team: John XU & Chris Griesedieck
Mixed Open Doubles Team: Lucy Stein & Paul Nahon
