Children attend tournament

A group of 30 children from the Umina Tennis Courts attended the Sydney International Tennis Tournament at Homebush on Monday, January 9.

Tennis Australia Club professional coach Ms Kristy Packer said the children enjoyed a fun day that involved a wide range of tennis activities.

Students timed the speed of their serves, met international tennis players and obtained autographs.

"The day, put on free by Tennis NSW, was a great initiative and an incentive for aspiring tennis players of all levels," she said.
