Field of 150 in veteran tennis
More than 150 players, some with 50 years of tennis under their belts, will compete in the United Tennis Club’s 1986 veteran’s tournament in Christchurch this week. The eleventh annual veteran’s open, sponsored by Air New Zealand, will be held on Friday until Sunday on the Hagley Park grass courts. It has attracted entries from Auckland to Invercargill, and even Australia and San Francisco. The men's over-40 grade
will again feature the defending champions, Richard Blunt and Don Preston, and such players as Bill Thom and Ron Bruce.
Last year’s winners of the women’s over-40 section, Pat Duckmanton and Kathy Hargreaves, will play again, as will Pat Cosgriff and Lyn Fitzgerald, in the women’s 48-and-over grade.
Richard Blunt and Pat Duckmanton will team up to, defend their title in this year’s A grade mixed doubles.
