It’s time for our annual Vice versus Vice mixed doubles tournament!

Vice Captain Tiffany and her team take on Vice President Ross and his crew in a day of mixed social tennis, friendly rivalry, and bragging rights.

Captain Ron is working hard to grade and match partners of a similar standard, with players evenly spread across both teams. Each team plays three sets, first to six, with the winning team decided by the highest combined number of games. A draw? Bring on the 10-point tiebreak.

While the tournament is already full, this is a great day for all members and anyone keen to learn more about Bareena!

When the racquets come down, the good times continue with a BBQ, refreshments, live music from the Bareena Park band and, of course, prizes!

Come to watch some great tennis. Stay for the BBQ. Leave with new friends and good memories.

Dear Bareena Park Court Confessor,
Last week, one of our doubles opponents dropped the second ball from their pocket onto the court during a rally. Not once, but TWICE. While they clearly need a bigger pocket, do they also need advice on whether this is a violation?
- Curious

Dear Curious,
The first time a pocket ball breaks free is considered an innocent mistake. A "let" is called and the point replayed. However, tennis authorities consider a second drop a deliberate hindrance and the opposing player wins the point.
In short: one ball drop is an accident. Two is a strategy.
-BPTC Court Confessor

Did you know roughly 330 million tennis balls are made worldwide each year, and most of these eventually end up in landfill?

In good news for the Club's sustainability considerations, BPTC was just accepted into the TreadLightly program.

In conjunction with Tennis NSW and Tennis Australia, TreadLightly supports clubs to collect and recycle used tennis balls in a practical way that helps reduce landfill.

Check out how TreadLightly works here >> https://treadlightly.asga.com.au/

TreadLightly is a national recycling initiative that takes unwanted sport and active lifestyle footwear and responsibly recycles it to give it new life.

Big congratulations to the Club's evening comp winners, who battled it out under the lights at Bareena Park Tennis Club on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights!

These comps are much more than the final score. They’re about turning up, playing well, respecting the game and each other, having a laugh and showing great sportsmanship, the T2 winners brought plenty of all of that to the court.

Congratulations to:

🏆 Monday night: Al L and Annelies H

🏆 Wednesday night: James C and Dave W

🏆 Thursday night: Steve B and Mark/Jack F

Your enthusiasm, competitive spirit and commitment helped make the evening comps such a fun part of the week. 🎾

A big thank you to everyone who played throughout the term.

Whether you were chasing points, a better backhand, or fun under the lights, you all helped make the comps a great success! ⭐
