Sam Groth (AUS) held true to his reputation as the fastest server in the world after todays match against Jason Jung (TPE), with 18 total aces, Jason Jung (TPE) didn’t see it coming, literally. The day ended with two all-American singles matches on center court. Number 6 seed, Tennys Sandgren (USA) defeats 22-year-old Mackenzie Mcdonald (USA) in two short sets (6-1,6-2), and former top 100 player, Taylor Fritz (USA) pulls through a three-set ​ victory against fellow American and qualifier Austin Krajicek (USA) in tonights feature match. With an ace to win the match, Taylor Fritz (USA) surprised everyone with his effortless power and solid strokes throughout the entire match. Both players painted the lines with solid and controlled shots, but it was Fritz who remained the more consistent of the two when it mattered most. Let’s not forget about doubles. After a seemingly easy win today for Ruben Bemelmans (BEL) and Joris De Loore (BEL) against Sam Groth (AUS) and Scott Lipsky (USA), the Belgian team will continue on to play Ruan Roelofse (RSA) and Christopher Rungkat (INA) in the quarterfinals tomorrow Thursday, August 10th not before 5:00pm.

  • Tennis Stars Honoured with OLY
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tennis stars honoured with OLY Olympians receive OLY honorary title on day two of the 2019 Brisbane International Tennis Tournament in Australia Brisbane, Australia: 1 January 2019 A star-studded line up of Australian Olympians has been honoured with OLY post-nominal titles at a special ceremony held at this year’s Brisbane International Tournament. Local legends of the game included Wayne Arthurs (Athens 2004), Sam Groth (Rio 2016), Renee Stubbs (Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008) and rising star John Millman (Rio 2016). Due to match schedules Daria Gavrilova (Rio 2016) and John Peers (Rio 2016) were unable to attend the presentation but will receive their award at a later date. The Olympians were presented with their OLY certificate and exclusive OLY pin by Olympian Paul Gonzalez OLY, Acting President of the Queensland Olympic Council, which organised the presentation, and 5-time Olympic Medallist Cate Campbell OLY (Beijing 2008, London 2012, Rio 2016). The ceremony took place ahead of the start of play on day two of the tournament, which acts as a precursor to the prestigious Australian Open Grand Slam. The tennis stars can now use OLY after their name on official documentation, in much the same way as a PhD, other post-nominal designations and honorary titles. World Olympians Association launched the OLY post-nominal letters initiative in November 2017. Since that time more than 10,000 Olympians worldwide have been granted the honour, which serves as a constant public reminder and recognition of an Olympian’s achievements in the field of sport, as well as a symbolic recognition of their status in society and their commitment to furthering the Olympic ideals.

  • ADCTF News Oct 2015
    The Australian Davis Cup Tennis Foundation News Produced for Members of the Foundation ABN 90 004 905 060 October 2015 Britain defeats Australia in Davis Cup Semi-Final Congratulations to the British Davis Cup team led by Andy Murray which defeated Australia 3-2 in a hard fought match in Glasgow from 17-19 September. Murray won both his singles and teamed with his brother John to edge out Groth and Hewitt in five sets in the crucial doubles rubber. Murray received fantastic support from the 8000 strong crowd which was also appreciative of Lleyton Hewitt playing in what was to be his final Davis Cup match. The Australian team showed great fighting spirit and camaraderie and, with the recall of Kyrgios, will be a force to be reckoned with in Davis Cup in the next few years. It is anticipated that Hewitt will take over from Masur as Captain in 2016. Page !1 Around the traps…… Put up your hand if someone has taken your seat! Australian Captain Wally Masur is giving Sam Groth a go as Captain during Kokkinakis’ dead rubber so that he can have a chat with mate Pat Cash. Sam did a good job as Kokkinakis had an impressive straight sets win. Australia v USA The next tie will be in Australia from 6-8 March 2016 against our old rivals, the USA. Melbourne Park Tour Neale Fraser will be conducting a guided tour of Melbourne Park for ADCTF Members on Monday 16 November. 10.30 am to 12 noon, cost $20 (includes cup of coffee).
