Congratulations to South Africa’s Kim Peters who clinched a bronze medal in the 35+ individual age group category.

Peters also claimed a bronze medal with her mixed doubles partner Chad Brown in the 35+ age group after losing in the semi final round.

Finally, Peters achieved a silver medal for South Africa in the ladies doubles with her partner, Karyan Hambridge after falling short in the final hurdle.

This event is the first to take place under its new name; ITF World Tennis Masters Tour, following a re-brand of ‘ITF Seniors’ in late July as part of the ITF’s overarching strategic goal to increase participation in tennis.

The new name better reflects the nature and quality of the competition across all age groups from 30 – 90+, in particular recognising its growing appeal to audiences seeking competitive opportunities in the 30-45 age categories.
