Kicking off on New Year’s Day, players from across the region — and country — have been putting their best foot forward in a bid to take out the titles up for grabs.

At the time of writing there were still a number of district players in contention across the divisions.

In the Women’s Open category, Torrumbarry’s Isabella Crossman locked in a semi-final encounter with top seed Laquisa Khan, while David Poole suffered defeat in the Men’s Open quarter-final.

Poole’s doubles partner Jarrod Bingham bowed out of the Men’s Open division in the round-of-32, while Mark Mills suffered defeat in the semi-final and Jack Bassett fell in the round-of-16.

On the doubles courts the duo of Darcy and Hope Curtis-McDonald were due to battle it out in the Women’s Open doubles round-of-16 on Monday afternoon, while the pair of Bingham and Poole were fighting it out in the men’s round-of-32.

News photographer Rechelle Zammit got down to the courts on Sunday to capture the action.
