Pro tennis players share tips in Mildura

TENNIS enthusiasts will  meet and get some tips from two of this year’s Mildura Grand Tennis Inter­national entrants, Jason and Adam Taylor.

The Taylor brothers will be at the Mildura Lawn Tennis Club (MLTC) on Friday evening to take part in the club’s singles and doubles competition.

Both Taylors have been regular visitors to Sunraysia over the years to play in the Pro Tour.

MLTC coach Bill Madafferi said it was a great opportunity for players of all standards to meet and see professional players in action.

“The boys love coming to Mildura and jumped at the chance to come down on Friday and have a hit,” Madaferri said.

“It should be a lot of fun and we are hoping to get plenty of people down to play in our singles and doubles competition.”

If you are interested in taking part in Friday’s competition, matches hit off at 6pm.

There will be refreshments available and a barbecue at the conclusion of play.

For more inform­ation, call Bill Madafferi on 0419 572 210.
