U13 Tennis Win vs St Andrew's Prep

This match against St Andrew's Prep was a brilliant start to the Tennis season for the U13s. The girls were closely matched with their opponents, making for an enjoyable fixture. There were some great points played by both sides, and it was clear it was going to be anyone’s match!

Amelie and her opponent were really moving each other around the court, and their accuracy was superb, combining so many cross-court and down the line shots, you couldn’t predict where they were going to hit.

Miranda also came up against a tough opponent, who was playing deep, low shots over the net, but she was returning them and really turned her game around to take the win.

Kat and Sophie did well in their matches too, and they were able to get half the score of their opponents, so didn’t make it easy for them.

Singles' scores:

■ Amelie won 6-2

■ Miranda won 6-4

In the doubles, it was another close one. Sophie and Kat really fought hard in their match, and it was neck and neck. They lost 6-5 in the end, but it was a great effort to get such a close score. Amelie and Miranda won their doubles match, so it was down to a tie break to decide the overall winner – how nerve-wracking!

They worked well together, Miranda picking off volleys at the net and Amelie hitting great baseline winners from the back. They kept their cool and played steadily. As a result, they were victorious, winning 7-3, giving Roedean the overall win!

Congratulations!
