26 July
It was too good to last. After perfect conditions for the first
weekend, wet weather marred the second weekend (23-24 July) of
the 2005 Rebound Ace University Open.
Steady rain on Friday night and Saturday
morning resulted in the first 8 a.m. match on Saturday morning actually
going on court at 11:15 a.m.
Despite the over three-hour delay on
Saturday, all matches for the second weekend were completed and everything
is now set for this weekend’s Finale.
Who will be the 2005 Queensland
Open Singles Champions?
126 men and 32 women entered the quest
for this year’s major State Titles. Now just 4 men (John James,
Anthony Ross, Daniel Dossetor and Johnny Stamenovic) and 8 women
(Kelli Zahmel, Bianca Smith, Shannon Golds, Julianne Welford, Lisa
Orford, Maria Sorbello, Jessica Schaer and Kylie Hopkins) are left
in the contest.
The Final of the Open Ladies’ Singles will be
played at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday 31 July.
This will be followed by the Final
of the Open Men’s Singles at around 11 a.m. Entry for spectators
is free. Hopefully, the Brisbane Tennis community will turn out in
force to support the State’s best players in their own State Championships.
