ALMOST 200 players flocked to Nedlands Tennis Club to take part in their recent tournament.

“There was a huge buzz at the club over these four days, and in the end 185 players played 323 matches and the conditions were ideal, bar a hottish day on Saturday afternoon,” Nedlands Tennis Club’s Nathalie Smalberger said.
