There has already been a flying start to the tennis season this year, with the 1st IV girls competing in the National Aegon Competition. Having won the first round convincingly away at Royal Hospital School, the pressure was on as we prepared to play the second round against Ipswich at home. The girls showed excellent determination and stamina in the singles, eventually ending up with convincing wins from Jaqui, Iman and myself, with Suzie narrowly losing out to some tough competition. The doubles matches really showcased the already solid teamwork of the girls, which is especially impressive considering we are so early in the season. We came out on top with 2 wins in the doubles, after a nail-biting tie-break in Suzie and I’s game, bringing the total score to Felsted 5-1 Ipswich. We look forward to progressing through to the 3rd round, and hope that these wins bode well for the upcoming Summer of tennis!
