Andrew Allan and Brittany Teei were representing New Zealand at the KIA Amateur Australian Open being held at Melbourne Park in conjunction with the Australian Open.
Allan played some outstanding tennis to make the singles final which was played on the Rod Laver Arena before finals day on Sunday. Allan came from a break down to take the match to a deciding tiebreaker but eventually lost 7/9.
Allan then combined well with Teei as they took out the mixed doubles title, also played on the Rod Laver Arena. Teei finished a respectable 6th in the ladies singles.
As a result of their great form New Zealand won the overall teams title. This is a great result for the Kiwis and we are proud to have Andrew as a long standing member of our Club and Men’s Caro Bowl team. You will often see him down at the Club training or hitting with Royal Oak’s up and coming players. Andrew is a great role model for the junior members of the Club and is one of the most liked and respected players in Tennis New Zealand.
