After a slow start to 2020, all matches went ahead for round 12 of the Dimboola and District Tennis Association on the weekend.
The matches started with Friday night tennis at Dimboola where Arkona hosted Dimboola and Antwerp took on Rainbow.
Arkona came out of the blocks firing in the mixed section, winning five of the six sets, but Dimboola’s Rob Barry and Danni Taylor evened out the game score winning their only set for the section 9-0.
A big turnaround in the men’s section kept Dimboola’s winning hopes alive. Some solid tennis for Dimboola’s men saw them coming out four sets to two winners.
The Women’s section was extremely close ending in three sets all, with Arkona trumping on games, 39-33. Meaghan Pohlner, Tracey Jorgenson and Maree Thompson all three set winners for the day, ensuring Arkona went home with the win.
Overall it was a great night of tennis with some very close games.
It was a different story at the other end of the courts, where ladder leaders Antwerp continued to outclass their opponents.
Spectators were entertained by a rare singles match between Daniel Polack and Adam Gould, with Daniel getting the ball rolling for Antwerp winning 9-3.
Antwerp had it all their own way in the Men’s section but had to fight it out in the Women’s. Rainbow getting a couple of sets back thanks to Georgia O’Halloran and partners, only going down three sets to two, 31 games to 29.
With only two home and away matches to be played, Antwerp continue to look pretty on top of the ladder.
Warrack Gold played Jeparit in Warracknabeal in beautiful conditions for tennis on Saturday.
The mixed section was a tight battle going tit for tat levelling at three sets all, but Warrack Gold managed 45 games to 36 to get the point.
From there it was mostly Warrack Gold’s day. Numerous three set winners ensured they only dropped another two sets for the day.
It was a similar situation at Hopetoun against Brim. Hopetoun having too much depth and talent across the court in both sections that Brim couldn’t manage a win for the day.
There will be some interesting games next week leading into finals that could keep some teams’ finals chances alive.
Brim v Antwerp; Rainbow v Hopetoun; Jeparit v Dimboola; Warrack Gold v Arkona.
