Tennis Sydney Mid-Week Comp – Autumn Swingers Doubles 2026 🎾

Our 7-week Autumn Swingers Doubles wrapped up last night with an incredibly close finish across all divisions. Right until the final round it was anyone’s title — a true reflection of the competitive and social spirit of the comp.

Congratulations to all our champions and runners-up:

Division 1Champion: Tim H Runner-up: Oscar W

Division 2Champion: Mike C Runner-up: Matt H

Division 3Champion: Rick L Runner-up: Sandy S

Division 4Champion: Vitus C Runner-up: Daniel K

Standout performances this season:

Tim H recorded the highest total games across all divisions — 115 out of 126 👏

Rick L achieved the highest sets won — 16.5 out of 21 🔥

Matt H and Rick L each delivered dominant 3–0 wins 4 times 💪

Geoff D kept things exciting with the most tie-break appearances — 5 🎯

A huge thank you to all players for being part of the comp, and to our sub players who stepped in when needed and helped keep everything running smoothly.

We’ve got more comps and programs coming soon, including our next mid-week singles shuffle starting in July, along with regular UTR verified match play opportunities.

See you all on court again soon 👀
