Congratulations to club member and professional tennis player, Dylan Leeman who has won the playoff for a wildcard in the ATP Challenger tournament in Dublin. This is very exciting for him and tennis as a whole in Ireland.
Tennis glamour in the shape of Grigor Dimitrov, Kokkinakis, as well as players from just outside the top 100 in the world will arrive in Dublin this week for the men’s ATP Challenger 75 tournament at Elm Park Golf & Sports Club in Donnybrook.
Professional tennis at a level just below ATP Tour events returns to Ireland for the first tournament of its kind on Irish soil in almost 20 years.
Qualification for the competition begins on Sunday with the main draw matches running through next week and the final taking place on Saturday, June 20th.
We are all delighted for Dylan to get his opportunity to compete against this level of player. We also note that our other professional player, Cian McDonnell, was very close to qualification too, losing out to Dylan in the semi-final.
