HELENSBURGH Tennis Club's ladies third team went into their final match of the season against Anchor Linwood last week knowing that they had to win at least 5 sets to 4 if they were to be crowned division 4b champions and gain promotion to division three.
The team started nervously with 1st couple Lizzy Burt and Yvonne MacFarlane losing their opening set as did Rona Foster and Judith Reilly at 3rd couple. Fiona Chalmers and Morag Cawley at 2nd however held their nerve and took their first set 6-3.
HELENSBURGH Tennis Club's Gordon Reid was one of only two non-seeds in yesterday's men's main draw singles quarter-finals at the 21st British Open Wheelchair Tennis Championships at Nottingham Tennis Centre.
The 18-year-old British no.2 produced a polished opening performance to overcome French eighth seed Frederic Cazeaudumec 6-3, 6-2, but then failed to make the last four.
