IT’S been a long wait but competition tennis is set to enter a green patch.

With restrictions eased in regional Victoria, The Victoria ‘Universal Tennis Rating’ Series came to the Shepparton Lawn Tennis Club (SLTC) last week, culminating in a final round on Sunday.

Players from the region from ages eight and up faced off in round-robin competitions.

SLTC committee member Andrea Muskee oversaw the competition.

“It’s beautiful to be back, especially in this weather,” she said.

“The lucky thing is we have been able to play singles in regional Victoria. But just getting everyone back on court for competition, it’s fantastic. It’s nice to see so many people out here.”
