Road to Wimbledon Club and<br />
County Stages<br />
This year saw a great number<br />
of entries from <strong>Surrey</strong> venues<br />
<strong>in</strong>to the Road to Wimbledon<br />
Competition. Once the venue<br />
stage of the competition had<br />
been completed, we had over 150<br />
players tak<strong>in</strong>g part <strong>in</strong> our County<br />
F<strong>in</strong>als Stage, this took place over<br />
4 weekends at Sutton <strong>Tennis</strong><br />
Academy and St George’s College<br />
<strong>in</strong> Weybridge, where Referee Mike<br />
P<strong>in</strong>negar once aga<strong>in</strong> did a fantastic<br />
job <strong>in</strong> runn<strong>in</strong>g a great event. It was<br />
a busy few weeks, with some great<br />
tennis on display, but eventually<br />
we were left with two players, who<br />
won the Boys and Girls Events<br />
respectively.<br />
Road to Wimbledon Regional<br />
F<strong>in</strong>als, <strong>Surrey</strong> representatives:<br />
Carl-Jamie Bashiri and Leah<br />
Gonzales-Edwards<br />
Our County Stage W<strong>in</strong>ners were<br />
<strong>in</strong> action at Wimbledon dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
August. Carl-Jamie was runner-up<br />
of the Boys Consolation and won<br />
the Boys Doubles. Leah also did<br />
fantastically as she reached the<br />
quarter f<strong>in</strong>als of the Girls Ma<strong>in</strong><br />
draw and was victorious <strong>in</strong> the<br />
girls doubles. Results can be found<br />
on the HSBC Road to Wimbledon<br />
website.<br />
Road to Wimbledon cont<strong>in</strong>ues<br />
to be a flagship event <strong>in</strong> the <strong>Tennis</strong><br />
<strong>Surrey</strong> calendar and we hope that<br />
<strong>in</strong> years to come it rema<strong>in</strong>s one<br />
of our most popular events, and<br />
provide those few lucky players<br />
with an opportunity to play at<br />
Wimbledon itself.<br />
A big thank you must go to all<br />
<strong>Surrey</strong> volunteers who supported<br />
the event throughout; it makes a<br />
big difference <strong>in</strong> add<strong>in</strong>g value and<br />
prestige to the competition.<br />
Look<strong>in</strong>g forward to what Road<br />
to Wimbledon 2016 br<strong>in</strong>gs!<br />
