Last Point
The Bendigo Tennis Club Saturday Round Robin rules are subject to change at any point. Here’s hoping we get through the tourney without any hiccups, but if we need to make changes to keep the tourney running we will.
Play fierce but have fun. Unsporting behaviour will not be tolerated against your opponent 😠.
May the best player win!
