Tweed Tennis by Peter Luc
THE Ray White-Banora Point Junior Tennis Premier League is now in full swing .
After four rounds, the quality of tennis in each grade is highly competitive and all players and spectators are enjoying the new format.
In A Grade, the top four teams continue to swap positions, which highlights the competitiveness of this grade. Flynn Ross and Matt Nicholson held the early lead but after succumbing to Brody Luc and Flyn Schieb on Friday night, it sees them drop to fourth place while Brody and Flyn jump from third to take over the lead.
Patrick Myles and Taiki Tomizawa had the bye and drop from second to third position. After a slow start Zane Sillery-Shaw and Brandon Stockwell have put together a couple of wins to move from fourth to second position.
In B Grade, the top three teams of Lewis Smith/Dylan Falls, Lawrence Miles/Krystal Stockwell and Daniel Tarbuck/Alex Uitjendaal have all come out of the blocks running, with three wins from four rounds to lead B Grade. Again this shows the competitiveness in this grade.
So far in the individual for and against rankings, the A Grade No1 player is a close battle between Patrick Myles and Flynn Ross while the A Grade No2 player sees Flyn Schieb in fine form and out to an early lead.
The A Grade doubles is very close with several teams swapping positions each round.
In the B Grade individual rankings, the No1 player sees Daniel Tarbuck retain the lead, after retiring injured in the previous round. The B Grade No2 player rankings sees Dylan Falls in outstanding form and has a commanding lead.
The B Grade doubles has Lawrence Myles/Krystal Stockwell in front from a group of teams.
On the rep scene, good luck to our representative juniors heading down to Sydney for the Medibank State Final this weekend.
