MT700 (30-45) / MT1000 (50+) Kooyong, known as the Oceania, is TSA’s 2nd highest ranked tournament. The 30-45 events are only MT700 as the World Champs for those age groups are on now and so most top players weren’t there. Most of the Qld players were unable to fly down so draws had to be amended a day or so before the tournament started.

8 players form SA participated. Notable results were

Josh Tuckfield won Men’s 45+ singles

Martin Richards won Men’s 55+ singles and doubles with Peter Davis.

Peter Davis won Men’s 55+ doubles with Martin Richards and R/U in Men’s 50+ doubles.

Rob Bickmore won Men’s 75+ doubles (SF M75+ singles)

Peter Dawe won Men’s 80+ doubles

Gail Cannon won Women’s 70+ doubles and 2nd with John Polias in the 70+ Mixed doubles (3rd in W70+ singles)

John Polias 2nd with Gail Cannon in the 70+ Mixed doubles
