Shore Tennis Report – Shore versus The Kings School

The Shore Tennis season has started off with a bang, with many talented players showcasing their skills on the court. Tennis players have been putting in a lot of effort in practice and it’s paying off, as many close and exciting matches have been played.

The First VI won against Kings at Parramatta. In the singles, Oliver Wilcox , impressed everyone with his strong forehand and impressive footwork. He won in straight sets, showing dominance on the court with a result of 6-1, 6-0. Ari Carboni must be mentioned and after narrowly losing in tiebreaks, but played one of his top performing matches since starting tennis at Shore.

Congratulations to Taj Gupta playing his first match in the 2nds after showing consistent progress in the Under 16s. Matthew Hogg, Captain of the Seconds, made his presence felt by winning his singles and doubles matches, showing his experience as he competed his last time against Kings.

The Under 14s, 16s and Opens had a tough day, with Kings showing great consistency and depth. Even though they went down in rubbers, there were many highlights on the day and positive sportsmanship displayed by Shore. The Under 15s were on a high with a great overall win against Kings. Special mention to the Bs who won without dropping a set. Lastly, we welcomed Year 7 to the tennis fraternity as they continue their trials. Enthusiasm and excitement have been present at every session, and we look forward to seeing them on the court in action this weekend.
