Anyone for Tennis? - Christen Kelly
Anyone for Tennis?
Christen, Year 9 student has been selected again to be a ball kid at the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open Tennis Tournament. 

This is a new date to the WTA tour and the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open features 28 players (singles draw) and 16 teams (doubles draw), all competing for $800,000 and highly sought-after ranking points. 

So far this week, Christen has been on centre court for four days and even found the time to compete in the Secondary swimming gala on Tuesday!! Taking first place in the U17’s 50m backstroke, freestyle and medley relays. 

There’s still time to catch her on court over the weekend for the quarter, semi’s and final on Sunday. 

Well done, Christen.
