Zanity 2 / COURTSIDE / KOOYONG.COM.AU KOOYONG.COM.AU / COURTSIDE / 3 PRESIDENT’S REPORT ear Members, A great deal has happened since the last Courtside. We have had a fantastic Kooyong Classic with some of the greats of the game playing at Kooyong, our Club Championships have been played and we have had our planning application approved by Stonnington so there is much to bring to your attention. DOne of the highlights of summer was the very successful Priceline Pharmacy Kooyong Classic that attracted a very talented field including Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Richard Gasquet, Dominic Thiem, Lucas Pouille, Marcus Baghdatis, Kevin Anderson, David Goffin and Marin Cilic. The weather was kind and with such a strong field the attendances were nearly double that of last year. A special thank you to our partner IMG and our tournament director Peter Johnson who did such a splendid job and who were delighted to be able to boast that thirteen of the men and women who played in the Kooyong Classic went on to be first round winners at the Australian Open. The eventual winner of the men’s event was Pablo Carreno Busta beating Matt Ebden in three sets. The women’s event included our own Destanee Aiava, Eugenie Bouchard, Wang Xinyu and saw Andrea Petkovic dancing in the rain (worth a Google search) but it was not enough to beat eventual President’s winner Belinda Bencic who won the title in a match tiebreaker. The Club Championships were played in February and again there were a record number of players and the eventual Club Champions were first time winner Greg Jones and after ten years Sally Peers took out her second win. Lunch The Squash Club Champions for 2018 were Cam White and Christine Nunn. Christine was selected with another club member,

  • 2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field
    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.
