News from the Tennis Court

Hi [[firstname]]

Well, its been a month to remember.

It's had its highs and devastating lows.

But above all it's shown what a wonderful club this is and how proud we all should be to be part of it

HENRY SEARLE and his BARMY ARMY

A fabulous performance by Henry Searle to win the Wimbledon Junior Boys Title on Finals Day. Henrys Barmy Army were there in force to provide the vocal support whilst back at WLTSC the bar was rammed with 70+ members, TV crews from the BBC and ITV cheering him on to victory.

One of those 'I was there' moments.

On Monday we greeted Sky Sports News for some more TV coverage. A big thank you to all that were there, and in particular those of you who were interviewed over the two days and who projected such a positive image of the Club.

As for Henry; after a visit to the Wolves he kept his head down and came down to the Club with Oscar and Tom to have a hit. He even teamed up with his long term mate Ross Fletcher to turn out for our B team in the Staffs League. The guys from Lichfield must have had a shock when they realised they were playing a Wimbledon Champion. Needless to say the scratch team of Ross, Henry, Tom and Hendo won 4 - 0.

Thank you Henry, you've been a shining example of the spirit and values that we encourage in all of our juniors. We wish you every success in future.

WIMBLEDON WHITES

Every Finals Day we organise a fun Wimbledon Whites Competition. We split 32 members into two teams, Djokovic and Alcaraz. After 2 hours of 4 rounds of doubles it was Team Alcaraz who won. A sign of what was to come later.

Anyway, we all decamped to the bar, enjoyed our strawberries and cream and settled down to watch Henry.

COMPETITIONS

The Mixed 100+ Competition has reached the Semi-Final stage in the main draw and Quarter Final in the Plate.

The Finals will be played on the evening of Friday 18th August, and if the weather promises to be good we may put on a BBQ.

The FRANCO INTERNATIONAL Veterans tournaments have been launched on MyCourts and registration will be open until 6th August, so if you haven't signed up already, now is the time to do it.

Finals Afternoon is on Saturday 23rd September.

WOLVERHAMPTON LADIES O40 OPEN DOUBLES COMPETION

On Monday 17th July we hosted our first ever Ladies O40 Open Doubles Competition. 10 pairs from neighbouring clubs plus Gerry & Cathy and Manny & Chris competed in two round robin competitions which culminated in a Final between Jane Hampson and Judie King representing Shrewsbury and Tracey Jones and Kerry Hill from Stourbridge.

Jane and Judie came out winners after which all competitors enjoyed a delightful buffet in the studio.

Thanks must go to Gerry Davies for the original idea and organisation and to Mark Brown for officiating on the day.

Next years date is already in the diary. Monday 15th July 2024.

And finally

CLAYTON and ELLIE EDGE

Last week I relayed the very sad news of Ellies untimely death and let you know that we had set up a GoFundMe page to support Clayton and his family through these most difficult times.

https://gofund.me/ellie-edge

The response from WLTSC members, the wider tennis community, his friends within the touchtennis world and his former club Walsall has been truly astonishing, with the total now approaching £9,000.

A Huge Thank You from the Tennis Committee to you all.
