Mini Tennis Red Open Tournament January 2010
Sunday 31st January saw the latest LTA Mini Tennis Red Tournament at West Middlesex Tennis Club in West Ealing. On a cold but sunny afternoon, 8 children aged 7 and 8 years old from Middlesex and the surrounding areas, played in a round robin competition in two groups. The winners and runners-up in each group played each other. The level of tennis for these youngsters was incredibly high. The overall winner Thomas Bell from Pinner Moss Lane Club, won the final match 10-2, 10-8 and took home a medal.
