BALLARAT BATTLES

In the heart of winter we escaped to the country and the indoor courts of Ballarat on July 8 and 9.

Now in its second year, the Ballarat LGBTIQ+ Championships offers VicTennis members the perfect excuse for a winter road trip and even has GLTA points up for grabs.

The battles were fierce and having all players in such an intimate venue made for an incredible atmosphere.

Congratulations to all of our winners. Every final proved to be an intense battle.
