It's the birthplace of Australia's greatest tennis players. It's where the legend Margaret Court learned her skills. NSW Country Week Tennis is back, returning to the fantastic Grass courts of Albury in 2012. No other Australian sporting event has such a history, once the largest sporting event in the Southern hemisphere. NSW Country Week is expecting more entries based on feedback from the 2011 carnival. Players, spectators and friends will be entertained at all times. At Albury there will be the adrenalin filled grass-court singles matches as well as the teams competition. (In their heyday the singles were used as a national selection trial for our Davis Cup teams).

Players of all standards from ALL States are WELCOME to compete in a graded three (3) person per match teams based competition and one of the Singles Events.
