EVENT WRAP-UPS<br />

National <strong>Tennis</strong> League: Molik Playing for 2<br />

Alicia Molik (pictured right) was playing for 2 as she<br />

debuted for the Greenwich Giants (UWA/Reabold) on<br />

centre court for the National <strong>Tennis</strong> League-Perth on<br />

Wednesday evening.<br />

The mum-to-be was radiating as she strutted on court<br />

sporting a 7 month baby bump as she faced off against<br />

another ‘baby’ of the game, seventeen year old Caitlin<br />

Cridland from Ian Hutchison Real Estate (Hensman<br />

Park/Midland).<br />

The former No. 8 in the world displayed a ‘modified’ playing<br />

style, limiting her court coverage and hyper-extensive<br />

stretching to compensate for the new addition.<br />

Cridland took advantage of Molik’s ‘unfamiliar’ game and cruised past the former great easily,<br />

(4-1) (4-2).<br />

“Perth tennis fans were really treated to something special this evening.” <strong>Tennis</strong> West<br />

President Dean Williams said.<br />

“What a fantastic reflection on one of Australia’s tennis greats to get involved in the NTL-Perth,<br />

not to mention the phenomenal experience Caitlin was exposed to.”<br />

“It really shows how much Alicia loves the sport and I congratulate her for coming out and<br />

getting involved against one of our aspiring WA juniors”.<br />

“Incredible commitment from the former number 8 in the world. A great day for Alicia and our<br />

great game”. Williams said after Molik’s match.<br />

When asked how she felt after the match Molik had this to say “I’ve been really lucky as I still feel<br />

great. I always love coming out and playing with the other girls, so feel lucky to be a part of it. I<br />

love the idea of a National <strong>Tennis</strong> League and the playing format suits me.”<br />

It was however their opponents day, with Ian Hutchison’s Real Estate side taking out 5 of the 6<br />

rubbers played on the evening.<br />

Gordon Davies Real Estate v Cooling Towers WA<br />

The other Women’s match for the evening saw Gordon Davies Real Estate (Dalkeith) obtain a<br />

clean sweep of rubbers against Cooling Towers WA (Blue Gum Park). The onslaught begun<br />

with Jessica Moore leading the charge against her inexperienced opponent Ivana Vojnovich.<br />

The Williams star came thrashing out of the blocks on a vicious rampage, disposing of<br />

Vojnovich (4-1) (4-0).<br />

In the Men’s field the 130 strong crowd were treated to an extensive array of top tiered tennis,<br />

with the gentleman of the game really stepping up their charge to the finals in Round 4 of the<br />

inaugural event.<br />

Ian Hutchison Real Estate v Macstiobhard<br />

In a sensational display on centre court, Miles Armstrong from Ian Hutchison Real Estate<br />

Page 5 of 21


(Hensman Park) edged out Macstobhard’s (Blue Gum Park) Zach Itzstein in a tie-break.<br />

The level of play was exceptional with 2 serving powerhouses going head to head. After<br />

Armstrong took the first set (4-2) Itzstein appeared to ‘acclimatise’ to Armstrong’s fierce serve in<br />

the 2 nd , launching a number of blistering passing shots deep into the court to level the scores(2-<br />

4) in the second.<br />

It was however Armstrong who managed to overpower a very gallant Itzstein, closing it down<br />

in a tie-break (7-3).<br />

Ian Hutchison Real Estate went on to win the tie, 4 rubbers to 2.<br />

Gordon Davies Real Estate v Greenwich Giants<br />

Undefeated Gordon Davies Real Estate (Peppermint Grove) had a shaky start to their round 4<br />

campaign, with Brenton Bacon dropping the 1 st rubber against an unforgettable display from<br />

Andrew Roberts of the Greenwich Giants (2-4) (3-4).<br />

Roberts (who has been absent for the past 2 weeks of play) dominated the court with his<br />

electrifying forehand and extensive court coverage.<br />

Despite the ideal start for the Giants, this was the first and last match they would claim for the<br />

evening. Gordon Davies Real Estate steamrolling through the field undefeated.<br />

<strong>Tennis</strong> Only v ERM Power<br />

In the most anticipated match of the round, <strong>Tennis</strong> Only (Sorrento) took on ERM Power<br />

(<strong>Wembley</strong> <strong>Downs</strong>). ERM Power’s Charles Williams performing a gallant comeback after losing<br />

the first set to love, as he upset Hayden Gibson in a tie-break, taking the match (0-4) (4-2) (7-5).<br />

After the first 4 singles matches were played the scores were levelled at 2 rubbers a piece.<br />

Both teams went on to win a doubles match each before a count back was performed. <strong>Tennis</strong><br />

Only were determined victorious at the end of the night, winning 3-8-42 to 3-4-31.<br />

The final 2 rounds are sure to be ecstatic tennis with 5 out of the 6 men’s teams still eligible to<br />

make the finals with the Women’s championship still up for grabs.<br />

The finalists of both the Men’s and Women’s ties will then head to the 2012 Australian Open to<br />

play off against South Australia and Victoria in the NTL Finals.<br />

Women in <strong>Tennis</strong> Foundation Cup & D’Arcy Slater<br />

Cup<br />

The <strong>2011</strong> Women in <strong>Tennis</strong> Foundation Cup was this year held at the Busselton <strong>Tennis</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />

from the 6-8 October. 13 teams from 8 different country zones all made the trip to Busselton to<br />

take part in the highly anticipated tournament.<br />

Despite a few scattered showers the tournament was a huge success, with the girls<br />

participating in plenty of tennis and receiving lots of opportunity to earn points for their team.<br />

“South West A” were the eventual winners of the tournament, edging out their closest<br />

competitors, “Great Southern A” by 20 points.<br />

A huge thank you must go to the Busselton <strong>Tennis</strong> <strong>Club</strong> who were the perfect host venue for<br />

the tournament – the courts were in fantastic condition, and the club and its members made for<br />

a welcoming and enjoyable home-away-from-home for the girls and their families.<br />

The 4 semi-finalists from the event have been invited to take part in the 2012 Interstate<br />

Foundation Cup which will take place in Sydney in January. The following girls will be<br />

representing WA:<br />

1. Hayley McApline (Moore Districts)<br />

2. Madeline Muller-Hughes (South West)<br />

3. Rachelle Maestre (Midwest)<br />

4. Sophie Tuckett (Great Southern)<br />

The <strong>2011</strong> D’Arcy Slater Cup took place immediately following the Women in <strong>Tennis</strong><br />

Foundation Cup from October 9-11. Bunbury <strong>Tennis</strong> <strong>Club</strong> made their debut in hosting this<br />

tournament, and did a fantastic job of doing so! Thanks to the tireless hours of the committee<br />

and numerous volunteers, the tennis courts were in picture-perfect condition, and the ladies in<br />

the kitchen did a fantastic job of feeding over 80 hungry boys each day!<br />

South West A again took the honours in the teams event, edging out 15 other teams to claim<br />

the D’Arcy Slater Cup. Central Districts A put in a valiant effort to claim the Runner-up title.<br />

The 4 semi-finalists from this event will also make the trip to Sydney in January to participate in<br />

the Interstate Foundation Cup. The following boys will be representing WA:<br />

1. Thomas Vellios (South West A)<br />

2. Colten Way (South Coast)<br />

<strong>2011</strong> Cliffs Esperance International<br />

Western Australia’s Casey Dellacqua and Queensland’s Ben<br />

Mitchell were crowned the <strong>2011</strong> Cliffs Esperance <strong>Tennis</strong><br />

International Champions.<br />

Following a slight rain delay, the number one seed, Ben<br />

Mitchell (QLD) took on the number 2 seed Matt Reid (NSW)<br />

on court one. Coming into the match, Mitchell was the<br />

frontrunner after knocking out local favourite, Brydan Klein<br />

in the Semi-Finals the previous day.<br />

He had a solid build up to the tournament winning his first<br />

three matches in straight sets. He opened his finals bound campaign with a win over China’s<br />

Peng Gao 6-1 6-3, before beating Scott Puodziunas 6-4 6-1. Mitchell then edged out the<br />

number 6 seed Jose Statham 7-6 7-6 before knocking out WA’s Brydan Klein in 3 sets 6-2 4-6 6-<br />

2 to advance to the final.<br />

Reid had come off 3 consecutive 3-set marathon battles to pave his way to the final. He initially<br />

took an easy win over Calum Puttergill in the opening round, before surviving a 3 set thriller<br />

against Gavin Van Peperzeel 6-4 6-7 6-3. Matt was then forced to play 2 more consecutive 3<br />

set epics, knocking Japan’s Kento Takeuchi out 6-4 2-6 6-2 before conquering Issac Frost 4-6<br />

6-4 7-5.<br />

Much to Mitchell’s delight, this is where the 3 set matches ceased. The Queenslander simply<br />

outclassed Reid, smashing forehands deep into the court grazing the baseline time and time<br />

again, taking the first set 6-1. In the second set, Reid seemed to settle and was much more<br />

competitive, scrambling across the court to return Mitchell’s colossal serve.<br />

The Sydney-sider soon however began to fade and Mitchell was able to capitalise and attack.<br />

Claiming the championship in straight sets 6-1 6-4.<br />

“I was really stoked to have a win in Esperance.” Mitchell said.<br />

Matt Reid and Ben Mitchell with Esperance<br />

<strong>Tennis</strong> <strong>Club</strong> President David Campbell.<br />

I’ve been playing some good tennis and have reached a few finals, so to have a win here was a<br />

great result for me. It’s strange to come into the court as the number one seed. It’s great for a<br />

bit of confidence, but can also create more pressure as you start to build expectations.”<br />

Next up was the Women’s Final. [2] Olivia Rogowska (VIC) vs. [3] Casey Dellacqua (WA). And<br />

whilst the pair took out the doubles Final together the day before, the rivalry was fierce for the<br />

Singles final!<br />

Olivia had a smooth lead up to the finals, winning in straight sets the whole way through. In the<br />

first round, she pushed past Kai-Lin Zhang 6-3 6-2, before outing New South Wales Monique<br />

Adamczak 6-1 6-3. She managed to claim victory against Turkish star Pemra Ozgen before<br />

cruising past USA’s Lina Litvak in the Semi’s 6-0 6-1.<br />

Dellacqua cruised through the first round matches beating China’s Hao Ten Cheng 6-3 6-1 in<br />

the opening round, Emelyn Starr 6-3 6-2 before knocking off China’s Yi-Fan Xu in the<br />

quarterfinals 6-4 6-2. Dellacqua then came from a set down to knock out Sacha Jones the<br />

number one seed and resilient opponent 2-6 6-4 6-2.<br />

Despite Rogowska sailing through to the finals in straight sets, the final was another story.<br />

Dellacqua took control from the opening point and didn’t allow Rogowska into the game<br />

throughout the entire match. Dellacqua closed the number 2 seed down in straight sets 6-2 6-1.<br />

QUOTE OF THE<br />

MONTH<br />

“We cannot always<br />

build the future for our<br />

youth, but we can<br />

build our youth for the<br />

future”<br />

- Franklin D. Roosevelt<br />

“Today was probably the best match I’ve played all week. Liv’s always a really tough competitor<br />

so I was lucky to get the goods today.” Dellacqua said after her match.<br />

“It’s been great to play in front of a really supportive crowd. My Uncle and Aunty live down here<br />

and my Dad and his Girlfriend drove down to watch me play, so it’s really special to have that in<br />

my home state.”<br />

The Cliffs Esperance <strong>Tennis</strong> International is part of the <strong>2011</strong>–2012 Australian Pro Tour, a<br />

series of professional tennis events that bridge junior events and the ATP/WTA Tour, providing<br />

an opportunity for players to earn their first world ranking points.<br />

Gold Fields St Ives <strong>Tennis</strong> International<br />

WA strengths (1) Casey Dellacqua and (4) Brydan<br />

Klein took out the Women’s and Men’s titles<br />

respectively at the <strong>2011</strong> Gold Fields St Ives <strong>Tennis</strong><br />

International to give the Pro Tour a Western waveoff<br />

before the players departed WA for Port Pirie in Souh<br />

Australia.<br />

In the Men’s Final, (4) Brydan Klein (Rockingham)<br />

fought back from 3-5 down in the first set to defeat<br />

Queensland’s (1) Ben Mitchell 7-5, 6-3. Klein<br />

dominated the match, not allowing Mitchell to enter,<br />

let alone control the match. The fiery crowd favourite<br />

rose to the occasion and displayed an animated<br />

performance, securing the match in straight sets.<br />

“I was wrapped to have a win at Kalgoorlie. I haven’t been well and wasn’t 100% as to whether I<br />

would play or not. Ben played well and he’s a fierce competitor so I’m very pleased with the way<br />

I played.” Brydan Klein said after his match.<br />

Casey Dellacqua came into the tournament as the number one seed, the first time she has held<br />

the top seed in the Pro Tour this year. Dellacqua cruised past fellow hitting partner Olivia<br />

Rogowska in the Cliffs Esperance <strong>Tennis</strong> International Final one week prior, the WA starlet was<br />

hungry to claim the 4 th title in as many matches.<br />

Dellacqua was forced to conquer fellow West Australian and friend, Bojana Bobusic 6-2, 6-0 in<br />

the Semi-Finals before disposing of Sydney’s Monique<br />

Adamczak 6-2 , 6-2 in the final.<br />

“I felt like I’ve been playing really well the past few<br />

weeks. The more hitting I do, the easier I sink into my<br />

shot so I’m looking forward to having a go at winning<br />

my 5 th title in a row” Dellacqua said after the game.<br />

It’s great to have a tournament in your home State, the<br />

crowds are always great and I get to have some<br />

downtime with my family and friends”.<br />

Working with Children Check (WWC) Changes<br />

On 1 July <strong>2011</strong>, some new regulations regarding the Working with<br />

Children (WWC) Legislation, applicable to the sport and recreation<br />

industry, came into effect.<br />

These changes include:<br />

• Fees for paid employees and self employed people have<br />

increased from $50 to $51.50. The fees for volunteers and students on unpaid<br />

placement remain at $10.<br />

• In situations where a person with two ‘jobs’ is employed in both paid and volunteer<br />

child related work, the fee for paid work will be required. If a volunteer obtains paid<br />

work during the three years that the WWC Card is valid, that person will not need to<br />

apply for a new check until the card expires, unless there is a new offence of concern. A<br />

current WWC Card remains transferable between paid and unpaid work.<br />

• An exemption for students on unpaid placement who are under the age of 18 years<br />

has been introduced.<br />

It is important that you are implementing and complying with the WWC Legislation, which<br />

includes keeping adequate records.<br />

<strong>Club</strong> Health Check Incentives<br />

<strong>Tennis</strong> Australia, in collaboration with The University of SA (CERM ©) have developed a series of<br />

performance benchmarks to assist Australian tennis facility operators to annually benchmark<br />

the performance of their tennis facility.<br />

Why benchmark?<br />

The indicators will become a critical tool for facility operators, Member Associations (MAs),<br />

Government and <strong>Tennis</strong> Australia in determining where best to allocate resources and<br />

assistance.<br />

We also intend to develop a survey to benchmark the quality of services provided by tennis<br />

facilities within Australia.<br />

What are the benefits?<br />

Affiliate and club benefits include:<br />

• Benchmarking becomes part of the business and action planning process, which will<br />

help improve management<br />

• Invites research and recognition if a facility is below or above industry standards<br />

• Provides the club with leverage for stakeholder assistance; for example, local<br />

government grants<br />

As an added incentive, the first 150 clubs who complete their <strong>Club</strong> Health Check by December<br />

31, will receive a box of Wilson T1130 AO 4Balls. They will be distributed direct to the club by<br />

early February.<br />

For more information, or to complete the <strong>Club</strong> Health check visit the following website:<br />

Blockbuster Washout<br />

BLOCKBUSTER WASH OUT<br />

The Brikmakers State <strong>Tennis</strong> League kicked off on Saturday 22 October with 8 Men’s teams<br />

and 6 Women’s teams flocking to the State <strong>Tennis</strong> Centre to launch the opening round of the<br />

season.<br />

Australia’s number 2 and the World’s number 80, Matt Ebden, made a starring appearance<br />

taking on last year’s Premiers Hensman Park and matching up against their number one, Miles<br />

Armstrong. Ebden took an early lead and dictated play from the first to last ball. He managed<br />

to shut down Armstrong’s rocket serve and take first set 6-1. Ebden came out firing in the<br />

second set to take a 4-0 lead before play was suspended due to rain.<br />

In the women’s, Williams local Jessica Moore debuted for City Beach, knocking out Caitlin<br />

Cridland in straight sets.<br />

Despite the standard of play and the electric atmosphere at the State <strong>Tennis</strong> Centre,<br />

Page 16 of 21


unfortunately there was no stopping the rain. The rain crept in just after 3.30pm and play was<br />

postponed, before the call was made at 5pm to cancel play for the day.<br />

In the Juniors Blockbuster the following day, the level of play was remarkable. The stars of<br />

tomorrow really stood up and put on a stellar display of competitive tennis in front of a healthy<br />

crowd. Hensman Park’s young gun Rhys Johnson, starred in both the Seniors and Juniors<br />

Blockbusters. The 16 year old disposing of <strong>Wembley</strong> <strong>Downs</strong> Craig Campbell in the seniors<br />

before beating Dalkeith’s Linus Goh in straight sets 7-5, 6-4 in the juniors on Sunday. A total of<br />

5 girl’s teams and 9 boy’s team make up the Junior State League competition, with Bunbury<br />

<strong>Tennis</strong> <strong>Club</strong> joining the boy’s competition for the first time this year.<br />

Bojana Bobusic wins first Pro Tour<br />

South Perth’s Bojana Bobusic (pictured in Orange) was<br />

victorious in collecting her first Pro Tour title at the City<br />

of Mount Gambier Blue Lake International.<br />

Bobusic, the No. 8 seed had to knock off a number of top<br />

seeds before claiming her first Pro Tour title by defeating<br />

Korean Sung-Hee Han 6-3 6-2.<br />

After her narrow loss to Olivia Rogowska in Port Pirie<br />

last month, Bobusic capitalised on her top form to take the title effortlessly yesterday. Bobusic<br />

did not lose a set on her run to the final.<br />

The first round saw her whistle past Ashley Keir (ACT) 6-2 6-1. She went on to beat Karolina<br />

Wlodarczak (Vic) 6-4 6-3 before knocking out New Zealander and No. 3 seed Sacha Jones 6-4<br />

7-5. The semi then saw her defeat, for a second week in a row, No. 2 seed Isabella Holland (Qld)<br />

6-2 6-3.<br />

Though the win hasn’t sunk in for Bobusic, she was thrilled to have won her first Pro Tour title. “I<br />

played well and I’m really happy to get the win,” Bojana Bobusic said.<br />

“It hasn’t really sunk in yet, but coming off last week and not being able to get the win and<br />

having made a couple of other finals this year, I’m just really excited and happy I could come<br />

away with it today.”<br />

Tyra Calderwood (NSW) and Stephanie Bengson (NSW) took out the women’s doubles title<br />

after No. 2 seeds Sally Peers (Vic) and Isabella Holland (Qld) withdrew due to injury.<br />

The City of Mount Gambier Blue Lake International is a part of the <strong>2011</strong> – 2012 Australian<br />

Pro Tour, a series of professional tennis events that bridge junior events and the ATP/WTA Tour,<br />
