I grew up in country Victoria playing tennis on baking hot asphalt courts - 40C plus most weekends. When I moved to Melbourne for work, I was soon a member of the summer and winter pennant comps, and loving the different court surfaces - lawn, clay and hard courts.   Moved to Tassie in 1992 and that was the end of competitive tennis until I discovered HOT a few years ago.   I showed up one Tuesday night and immediately felt at home, and have loved my time there ever since.  It is such a welcoming environment and always a lot of fun.  Hopefully I’ll be hobbling around as a HOTTIE for a few more years yet.
