The US Open was the last Grand Slam of the year and we celebrated accordingly at Collaroy Tennis Club.
With Ros temporarily out of action and Lynne re-enactng ‘Priscilla Queen of The Desert’ in faraway Broken Hill, it fell to Kate and a new team of volunteers to run our US Open Day on Saturday September 9… and the newbies well and truly lived up to the high standards set by their predecessors.
The Stars and Stripes of the American flag flew proudly from court fences while club members paraded through the gate wearing their best star spangled red, white and blue. Courts were allocated and matches drawn, with doubles partners swapping after 4 games. A record of individual scores was kept throughout the afternoon, to determine male and female prizewinners (with equal prizes awarded to both – thanks Billie Jean!).
