All matches in round 10 of the Dimboola & District Tennis Association were one sided affairs with all the winning sides claiming the five points on offer.

Friday night saw the closest match between Arkona and Rainbow. Playing with six men and five ladies meant a singles match was played. Rainbow’s Will Batson claimed victory against Mitchell Jorgensen 9-3. The number one mixed pair of Marc Edelsten and Rowen Keller defeated Nick Pietsch and Elizabeth Klinge, but after that, Arkona won the remaining four sets to claim the point for that section.

The men’s section was extremely close. Both teams won three sets each, but Arkona managed to win a mere one game more than Rainbow to claim the men’s point with three sets, 49 games, to Rainbow sets, 48 games.

Arkona’s ladies were too strong and only lost one set.

Brim hosted Warrack Gold, and the visitors proved to be too strong only dropping two sets for the day. The combinations of Lochie Golder and Patrick Lindsay, and Hugh Keam and Steven Murphy were the two pairs able to claim a set.

Warrack Gold’s ladies put on a dominant display and only lost five games in total in their section.

The result was similar in the Dimboola, Antwerp game where the two teams played with five players of each gender. Antwerp returned to the winners list by only dropping two sets for the day.

Dimboola’s Anthony Baker and Kate Clark claimed a mixed set, and Rob Barry and Jonty Hunter won a men’s set.

Jeparit travelled to Hopetoun where the teams played with four men and four ladies. Hopetoun outclassed Jeparit winning all 12 sets played for the day and only allowing Jeparit to win 16 games in total.

The completion of this round sees the competition enter the harvest/holiday break. When school returns the last four rounds will be played.
