It’s been another successful week for 10iS Academy (pronounced ‘Tennis Academy’)
The week started with a 7-1 win for the Women 1st team away at Cottenham in the Cambridgeshire league. Captain Ling Ling and Giulia winning 4 sets while young Ciara (14) paired with Mutsuko won 3 sets. The win means the team is now first in their division.
On Wednesday the Men 1 welcomed top of the League Duxford 1. The match started at 6.30pm and nearly 4 hours later after some hard-fought matches the home team closed the match with a 5-3 win taking also taking them to the top spot in their division.
The performance of the week came on Saturday when dominant 14U girls were looking unstoppable as they only dropped 1 game in 6 sets. This strong win secured the title and promotion.
The 10is Academy 14U girls were the overwhelming favourite to emerge victorious after they defeated Papworth in the away fixture earlier this season. The 10is girls did not show any nerves: from the get-go they dominated with their powerful groundstrokes. Anna won her match 6/0 6/0 and so did her sister Laia.
In the doubles match, both sisters joined forces for another solid performance. The small crowd roared with the last forehand winner and the 6/0 6/1 victory. The 14U girls will be in the top division next year.
Sebastien Scaux, 10is Academy director, said: “The girls have been exceptional this year and the result today is due to their hard work and commitment to excellence. They should be proud of their achievement.” He later added “Anna and Laia stole the show today but we cannot forget the rest of the team and all the players at the club who are pushing each other to reach their full potential. This year we have seen many beginner players join the teams; they might not be in the same spotlight but they are an integral part of the club and the winning mentality that we are putting in place.”
The week wasn’t over yet. On Sunday the Men 1 welcomed Cambourne 2 in the National League Division 2. With 3 of their first team players away, the ever-improving Richard, Mish and Max were ready to step-up. The experienced team captain Seb, comfortably won is match 6/1 6/1 while Max, ranked number 2 on the day had a flawless win 6/0 6/0. In the same time Mish and Richard won their doubles 7/6 (9-7) 6/3
Seb and Max paired to win their doubles 6/2 6/0 insuring the win for the home team. Mish then won his singles match 6/0 6/1 while Richard who played his first match in the league won 6/3 6/2
The team could end-up lifting the title in 2 weeks should they win 1 out of their 2 remaining matches.
