It’s surprising how many people don’t realise that there is a great tennis tournament held in Cairns every year during the month of October.
What you get there are a lot of younger talented players. Many of them are bubbling around the edge of breaking into the big time and the major circuit tournaments so they’re keen to improve their rankings.
It’s seen as an important staging post for development and you might be surprised at how many of today’s big names cut their teeth on such tournaments. It’s a really great event which manages to be both serious and friendly at the same time.
Now it’s true that sometimes watching players with lots of talent who still have many of their best years ahead of them can be a bit disheartening to those of us who really never got past the stage of knocking a ball about aimlessly on the court! Even so, don’t be put off because even those who may be prone to ‘puff and blow’ after running around for few minutes can still pick up some useful tips and tricks from watching people who really know what they are doing.
In fact, whether you are in our Cairns, Palm Cove or Port Douglas accommodation, you’ll find plenty of life and vitality going on at this time of year and not just on the tennis courts.
There is a thriving local community around this part of the Far North Queensland Coast and stacks of cultural events going on in the town centres.
So, why not pack your tennis racket and plan to get some serious sporting and other exercise, ready for Christmas and the next holiday season? We’re waiting to welcome you – even if you’re not likely to be a budding grand slam winner for the foreseeable future!
