Coaches Asaf Nagar and Assaf Drori remained undefeated throught the doubles-only tournament and continue to be inspirational to their teammates and the Club. Maccabi’s victory required a huge team effort with players rostered on and off over the weekend for the round robin format tournament, played against 5 other premiership clubs over the weekend. A huge contribution to the victory by all involved, which now qualifies the team for the Tennis Australia National League Finals on the Gold Coast on 16-18 October 2026.
