PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2018

It is with much pleasure that I present the Annual Report of the Oceania Tennis Federation ( OTF ) for the 2018 year.

It has been an interesting and great year for me and the OTF with a lot exciting events happening. The ITF had approved funding for the OTF to organize the first Nations’ Cup and this event was organized in Lautoka, Fiji in June ’18 and it was a great success with players from the 15 Member Nations invited to attend. Originally this event was supposed to be hosted biannually and the ITF has now confirmed that the Nations’ Cup will be hosted again in 2019. During the ITF AGM in Orlando in August, I presented on behalf of the OTF the Nation’s Cup Competition to the other Class C Nations of the world and hopefully this event will also happen in other regions of the world where Class C members are in numbers.

It was also a fruitful but very political AGM in Orlando. It was great to be able to present and meet with the ITF Board and request for more funding and to give the Board an overview of what is required to assist Tennis in our Region and Nations. The ITF has responded with an increase in funding. This year OTF manage all the projects and we are working closely with the ITF to improve this. A special mention to Richard Breen, the OTF Projects Administration Officer, as these are time consuming and difficult at times with some Nations not communicating timely with the Officers. Our athletes also continue to improve with wonderful results with special mention to Abigail Tere-Apisah whose professional results has been outstanding breaking the top 300 ranking. This was also done with a special grant from the ITF to Abigail for 2018 and the money was well invested! Also a special mention to Colin Sinclair who has reached 495 at the end of 2018.

Likewise, our Davis Cup and Fed Cup teams including our Junior Teams represented Pacific Oceania with distinction and we look forward to following our combined teams this year. Much of the great work in our region has been carried out by Gary Purcell. Gary’s knowledge, commitment and passion to Tennis in Oceania have greatly assisted us to create programs which lift the standard of all Nations. Gary has also conducted Play Tennis courses in a couple of nations improving the level of our coaches. Gary continues to work closely with OTF to improve the level of tennis in our Region. We are also extraordinarily well served by our Joint Executive Officers, David Smith and Richard Breen who between them make Oceania function and work efficiently despite our limited budget.

The ITF has last year offered a one-off governance funding package and with the partnership of OSEP, the OTF organized the course during the AGM in Auckland. The Governance workshop was outstanding and it was a bit disappointing that some of the nations could not attend. I want to thank Tennis Australia for their extraordinary financial and logistical support of the OTF which is exceptionally administered by Bruce Osborne who does so much for tennis in the Pacific Oceania region. This assistance supports our objectives of building the grass roots and participation in Pacific Oceania which will give us a firm base to grow the sport for the future. In my view, this is the best use of our limited resources.

I also want to thank the ITF for the increase in funding levels all of which play a part in assisting us to ‘grow the game’ and extend our Projects. Nauru Tennis has rejoined the Oceania Tennis Family and unfortunately Tonga was suspended at the ITF AGM due to their not meeting their membership obligations. Finally my thanks to all of the officers of our Nations whose love for and commitment to tennis keeps the game going and growing. You make the OTF the very special organization it is.

Executive Officer’s Report

Overview

2018 has been a year of many “firsts,” detailed in this report, for tennis in Pacific Oceania. There was huge celebration in Isa Town, Bahrain earlier this year when the Pacific Oceania Team of Abigail Tere-Apisah (PNG), Steffi Carruthers (SAM), Carol Lee (NMI) and captain Gilles de Gouy (PYF)-pictured on the front cover of this report- were promoted to Group I in Fed Cup, the first time they will play in Group I for 18 years. This will be the 3 rd time that Pacific Oceania will compete in Group I having previously done so in 1999 and 2001. Pacific Oceania is now ranked #45 in the World and will journey to Kazakhstan in February 2019.

2018 was also the first time in Pacific Oceania tennis history that a Pacific Oceania player made the final of a Grand Slam Event. At the Australian Open in January 2018, Violet Apisah (PNG) became the first Papua New Guinea tennis player to reach a Grand Slam final when she played with her partner, Lulu Sun of Switzerland in the Junior Doubles Final

Then on the 19 th November 2018, Colin Sinclair, following a stellar run when he reached the final of 5 consecutive Futures Finals became the first tennis to break into the World’s top 500 ranked players whwhenen he reached a career high ranking of #494, almost 800 places higher than h is 2017 year ending ranking

Earlier this year, Brett Baudinet’s name was added to the ITF Honours Board in London. As part ooff the ITF’s centenary year in 2013, the ITF launched the Davis Cup Commitment Award to reward tthhoseose Davis Cup players who have sho wn long standing dedication to representing their ccouountry.ntry. Brett Baudinet from the Cook Islands is one such player as during the Davis CCupup Tie in Colombo, Sri Lanka, last year Brett BauBaudinBaudinetdinetet became the first ever player to play 50 Davis Cup TiTieess for Pacifi c Oceania. (He has now played 54.) This is an extraordinary and rare achievement; additionally the Davis Cup Commitment Award Crest was put on his player profile on the Davis Cup website. His name now proudly is etched between Robin Haase (N(NED)ED) and Joao So usa (POR) on the ITF Honours Board.

During the OTF AGM in Auckland in March he was presented with this award by Frank Couraud, the Manager, Training Centres & Events for the International Tennis Federation

Brett first started playing Davis Cup in 2000 and holds the following Pacific Oceania Davis Cup Records:

• Most Years Played 15 • Most Total Wins W34/L26 • Most Doubles Wins W33/L15

Then in June 2018, Pacific Oceania created ITF history in being the first tennis region of the World to host the inaugural Nations Cup-Pacific, hosted by Tennis Fiji, which was held at the Regional Training Centre in Lautoka, Fiji. The top 64 players from 15 member Nations of Pacific Oceania competed in this Event which was a pilot by the ITF for the World and it gave these players from Class C Nations the opportunity to play in a "Davis Cup/Fed Cup" type event for their country; an opportunity they only currently have under the Pacific Oceania Team umbrella. This was an outstanding success and was primarily funded by the ITF as part of the 2018 Pacific Assistance Budget. The inaugural winners and runners up were:

• Men: Tahiti (Winners) and Vanuatu (Runners Up)

• Women: Northern Marianas Is (Winners) and Samoa (Runners Up)

Executive and AGM

The OTF held its 17th AGM in Auckland, New Zealand on Sunday 25 th March. There were 20 attendees from OTF Member Nations including Frank Couraud, the ITF Manager, Training Centres & Events; Gary Purcell, the ITF Development Officer-Pacific Oceania and Andrew Minogue, Executive Director-Pacific Games Council

During the AGM, Brett Baudinet was presented with the ITF Davis Cup commitment Award by Frank Couraud. This AGM was preceded the day before when the OTF Executive met on Saturday 24 th March 2018. The OTF continues to be administered by two Joint Executive Officers with the respective primary responsibilities of each being:

• David Smith Plans and Policies; Finance; Sponsorship Submissions; Touring Teams/Events; Governance Management; Communication • Richard Breen Development Programme; ITF Junior Pacific Circuit; Regional Tennis Centre; Regional Training Centre

Additionally Richard Breen manages all the Pacific Oceania Joint ITF/OTF projects on behalf of the ITF. 2018 is the first full year that this has occurred.

In August, 10 Pacific Oceania representatives attended the ITF Conference/AGM held at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando, Florida, USA. Attending were Cyrille Mainguy, Celia Patrick, Julie Paterson, Bruce Osborne, Ernestine Rengiil, Torgun Smith, Mae Hsieh, Bantarawa Ietimeta, Mona Kamu, Ray Schuster and William O’Connell. This was an excellent opportunity for the OTF Executive to meet formally and informally with the ITF Board, OTF Nations and also key ITF Development Staff. This allowed both ITF Groups the face-to-face

opportunity to listen to not only the challenges that our geographic size and remoteness presents but also to hear of the outstanding work that is being done across our whole region in the promotion and development of tennis.

Finance and Funding Support

Tennis Australia continues to invest in a very substantial way in tennis and the development of tennis in the Pacific Oceania Region. This support comes in many forms from cash to equipment, strategic guidance and advice and facilitating attendance for OTF Delegates and Juniors during their visits to Melbourne Park. The OTF is particularly grateful for the support from CEO, Craig Tiley and Bruce Osborne in the continued support that 9 Pacific Oceania Nations received this year through the Australian Open Pacific Pathway programme. This is the 6 th year that member Nations have benefitted from this programme with the following Nations receiving grants in 2018: FSM, Fiji, Guam, Norfolk Island, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tahiti, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.

Additionally we wish to record and thank Tennis New Zealand for the initial funding that allowed the initial work to be done on the drafting of the new OTF Constitution

Just over a year ago the OTF signed a MOU with the ITF to manage the ITF/OTF projects in the Pacific Oceania Region. The Pacific Oceania Assistance Budget continues to increase year-on-year through the combined funding of the GSDF and the ITF. The OTF thanks David Haggerty, President of the ITF, in championing the growing assistance to the Regions and our developing elite players.

These projects are managed by Richard Breen and could not be possible without the additional huge support both in financial and logistical support provided by the ITF Development Team of Luca Santilli, (Executive Director Tennis Development), Frank Couraud (Manager-Training Centres and Events), Rachel Woodward (Project Lead-Tennis Development), Matthew Lye (Development Co-Ordinator) and Dermot Sweeney, Technical Director, Training Centre and Players)

Membership The OTF currently has 19 financial Member Nations

In closing I would also like to record a huge debt of gratitude to Barry McMillan for his efficient and timely auditing of the Annual Accounts.

OCEANIA TENNIS FEDERATION NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2018

GENERAL These accounts have been prepared on a cash basis At balance date there were no outstanding amounts owed by or owing to the Federation At the beginning of the year, the OTF Accounts showed an opening balance of $109,124. The reason for this was that substantial funds from the ITF had just been received in late 2017 and were not paid out until early 2018 for the ITF/OTF Projects. This similarly explains the deficit in the 2018 accounts ONOC Unlike recent years no financial support was provid ed in 2018 by ONOC to assist the OTF develop our el ite and other programmes NOTES

1. General Meeting , Executive Meeting and OSEP Training In the 2018 Financial Year the OTF Executive met on 24/3/2018. The AGM was held in Auckland on 25/03/2018.

Almost all these costs including most of the accommodation/travel and sundry costs also for the 2019 AGM in Melbourne are included in these accounts

3. OTF/ITF Projects This was the first full year that the OTF (Richard Breen as OTF/ITF Projects Administrations Officer) managed the OTF/ITF Junior Programmes (funded by the ITF.

Robbie Schorr, in his first week on Clay, got Pacific Oceania off to the perfect start winning the opening singles 6-2, 6-3. Then initially Clement Mainguy struggled to find his footing on the slippery surface before making the necessary adjustment to then win decisively 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 before Robbie Schorr and Ken Song won the doubles 6-3, 7-5.

This now pitted the Pacific Oceania team against the 4th seeds Vietnam in the crucial semi-finals. The 16 th March 2018 proved to be a historic day for Pacific Oceania Junior T when the Junior Davis Cup Team of Clement Mainguy (VAN), Robbie Schorr (NMI), Ken Song (NMI) and Jeff Race (NMI-captain) won their semi- final Tie against Vietnam 2-1 to progress to the Final against Pakistan but also to automatically progress (top

2 teams progress) to the Asia/Oceania Final Junior Davis Cup Qualifying Event later in March from 26-31 March.

Robbie Schorr again got Pacific Oceania off to the perfect start winning his singles 6-3, 4-6,6-4 before #1 player, Clement Mainguy, secured Pacific Oceania’s place by comfortably winning his singles 6-1,6-3. Pacific Oceania lost the dead doubles rubber.

The Pacific Oceania Team was Jeremy Guines (TAH), Clement Mainguy (VAN), Robbie Schorr (NMI) and Captain Jeff Race (NMI).

Pacific Oceania was drawn in the same pool as the top seeds, Japan who they played in their opening pool round. Pacific Oceania was convincingly beaten 3-0. They then went on to meet 8 th seeds, Philippines, in their 2 nd round pool match. Clement Mainguy, playing at #2, got the Tie off to the perfect start beating his opponent 3-6, 6-0, 6-2 but Jeremy Guines then lost his #1 singles match 6-2,6-2 and then lost the deciding doubles with Robbie Schorr 6-1, 7-5 to lose the Tie 2-1

The deciding Doubles was a thriller with the Pacific Oceania Team of Clement Mainguy/Robbie Schorr losing the deciding Match Tie-Break 19-21 to eventually lose the Doubles match 4-6, 6-2, (19-21). As a result Pacific Oceania then played Pakistan to decide 13th-16th places.

BNP PARIBAS NEW CALEDONIA ITF JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS JUNE 2018 By Pat O’Rourke

The longstanding tournament attracted a very good field with a boys qualifying for the first time since it became a 48 draw event. At the end of the week the same singles winners emerged as in week one. Lara

Walker played superb tennis all week and was much too good for Koyama from Japan again second time around.

Alex Bulte faced a different opponent in the Boys Singles final. Hikaru Takeda did not play the first week but quickly adapted to the conditions and played very good tennis to reach the final. However, Bulte was too strong claiming his second singles title in Noumea with a 63 63 victory.

The Girl’s Doubles final was an all Japanese affair with singles finalist Kokomi Koyama and partner Yukina Kubo just edging Ayaka Koga and Pete Komada 26 63 (10-7).The Boy’s Doubles proved to be a very interesting event. Young Japanese pair Hiroya Iimura and Kan Watanabe, who had to play qualifying in singles, showed up as an outstanding attacking doubles combination. Playing with great enthusiasm they upset Bulte and Qariaqus on the way to the final. Once there they comfortably beat New Zealand pair Corban Crowther and Caelan Potts 64 64.

NEW CALEDONIA ITF JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS NOUMEA, NEW CALEDONIA –JUNE 2018 (by Pat O’Rourke)

With an increase in numbers of both boys and girls over 2017 this tournament, in only its second year and competing against Darwin for players, was a great success.

The Boys Singles was won by top seed, Alex Bulte (AUS) who beat surprise finalist, Corban Crowther (NZL) 76(5), 26, 63 in the final. It was a very good showing by Crowther to make the final of an ITF event for the first time whilst it was Bulte's 2nd title on the circuit.

The Girl's final featured 5th seed, Lara Walker (AUS) against 3rd seed Kokomi Koyama (JPN). Walker had earlier upset the top seed Holly Stewart (NZL) and repeated that form in the final winning 62,62.

SOUTH PACIFIC OPEN JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS FIJI-JUNE 2018 (by Pat O’Rourke)

The 18 th year of the SPOJC ITF grade 4 event in Fiji threw up a number of firsts. A girls qualifying was held for the first time and there were considerably more girls playing in the event than boys, the reverse of every other year. The doubles draws were also increased from 24 to 32 to cope with the numbers and allow the players in qualifying for singles to play main draw doubles. There were large contingents of players from Japan and Australia with smaller numbers from New Zealand, the Pacific and other Asian Nations with 17 nations being represented among the 116 players taking part.

The top seeds in the singles events Mann Shah (IND) and Carol Lee (NMI) were both ranked in the top 250 in the world and their play reflected their ranking. Shah went through the boys draw without dropping a set although he was pushed hard by Clement Mainguy (VAN) in the quarterfinals winning 6-2 6-4. In the final he overcame enthusiastic Japanese player Ayato Arakaki 6-4 6-0. Carol Lee was even more dominant in the girls singles and beat surprise finalist Ikumi Yamazaki (JPN) 6-2 6-1 in the final.

Shah backed up his singles win by combining with fellow countryman Aaryan Zaveri to edge out Ryota Ishii (JPN) and Kamil Kozlowski (AUS) in a thrilling doubles final 76(4) 67(3) (10-6). The girls doubles was a walkover victory for second seeds Win Ka Lin (HKG) and Jingyi Wang (CHN) due to a leg injury to Manami Ukita (JPN). It was a disappointment for Ukita and partner Yamazaki as they had convincingly beaten the top seeds Lee and Chiara Di Tomasso (AUS) 6-1 6-3 in the semi-finals.

As most of the players were staying for the second week Grade 5 Event, consolation singles events proved popular with 24 girls taking part and 16 boys. Also on semi-finals day a player party was held at the Tanoa Waterfront Hotel in the evening with Pacific Island entertainment and fire dancing. This was greatly enjoyed by all.

OCEANIA CLOSED JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS FIJI-AUGUST 2018 by Pat O’Rourke

Australian players dominated the 2018 Oceania Closed Junior Championships claiming both singles titles, the boy’s doubles and a share of the girl’s doubles.

Rinky Hijikata (AUS), ranked in the world's top 40, was too strong for all the opposition winning the boys singles in convincing fashion over Tristan Schoolkate, the sixth seed 6-2 6-4. Hijikata was not overly tested in any of his matches going through without conceding a set. Schoolkate had a very good tournament taking out the second seed and defending champion Dane Sweeny in the quarterfinals and Stefan Storch the fourth seed in the semis. So dominant were the Australian boys that they filled all eight places in the quarterfinals.

There were a number of upsets in the girl’s singles. Top seed Valentina Ivanov (NZL) was well beaten by Amber Marshall (AUS) in the semifinals and fifteen year old Annerly Poulos (AUS) made it through to the semifinals with a great win over second seed Megan Smith (AUS) who was a finalist in 2017. Fourth seed Carol Lee (NMI) had a great run through to the finals beating Poulos in a very tight match which went to a third set tiebreaker. Marshall however was too strong in the final beating Lee 6-1 6-4 to take the girls singles title.

Ivanov and Marshall defended their girls doubles title winning 6-3 3-6 (10-5) over the Australian second seeds Grace Schumacher and Megan Smith. Rinky Hijikata claimed his second boys doubles title, this time with Ken Cavrak taking the match 6-4 6-3 over Nikita Volonski and Cihan Akay in an all Australian final.

A full complement of consolation matches were played to give all players a minimum of three singles matches. On Saturday after the singles finals a mixed doubles competition was played and the final was won by Chiarra Di Tommaso (AUS) and Robbie Schorr (NMI).

The weather was fine and hot all week ensuring no delays to the program. Tennis Fiji did a great job organising the event and put on a dinner for all participants on the Saturday night at which the trophy presentations took place.

OCEANIA OPEN JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS FIJI-JULY 2018 by Pat O’Rourke

The OOJC is a Grade 5 Event and most of the players that played the previous week in the SPOJC stayed on with a few new ones joining.

Mann Shah (IND) and Carol Lee (NMI) were again the top seeds, reached the final and won their respective titles for a second week. Shah was tested more in the early rounds and struggled past Kelvin Du (AUS) in three sets in the quarterfinals. In the final he was too good for wildcard Gaku Moriya (JPN) 6-1 6-2. Carol Lee won her second singles title in a row but had to fight very hard against diminutive Japanese 14 year old Kanami Hayashige. Hayashige led 5-0 in the first set before Lee reeled off 7 straight games to take the set and in the second Hayashige had a game point for a 5-3 lead but couldn't convert and Lee went on to win 7-5 6-4.

Surprise finalists Bryce Robinson and Junyi Tang from Australia upset top seeds Shah and Zaveri in the boys doubles final showing great combination to win 61 46 (10-5). Wing Ka Lin (HKG) won her second doubles title in a row but this time in combination with Carol Lee. The top seeds beat third seeds Patricia Apisah (PNG) and Helena Spiridis (AUS) 6-4 6-3.
