Pymble Tennis Academy Launch

The upcoming Pro-Am Tournament and launch of the Pymble Tennis Academy has been rescheduled (giving you plenty of time to fit in a few extra training sessions!).  

The event, which was scheduled to be held on Saturday 2 April, will now be held on Saturday 30 April. We are very much looking forward to celebrating this exciting milestone with our Pymble families and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.  

In exciting news, we would also like to share an update on some special guests who will be in attendance. The following key players will be joining us on our very own Mollie Dive Courts to participate in our Pro-Am Tennis Tournament with parents and carers, as well as Secondary students.  

Scott Draper – former Australian professional tennis player who reached the 4th round of all four Grand Slams and achieved a singles ranking of 42. Scott also won the 2005 Australian Open Mixed Doubles with Sam Stosur.  

John Alexander – former Australian professional tennis player and politician. John is the youngest player to have ever represented Australia at Davis Cup and achieved a singles ranking of 8. John is a two-time Grand Slam champion (Australian Open in 1975 and 1982) and reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open on three occasions.  

Kerryn Pratt – former Australian professional tennis player and sports broadcaster. Kerryn won the Junior Australian Open Girls Doubles on two occasions and later went on to reach the Australian Open Doubles semi-final in 1979.
