The Tennis & Rackets Association

Congratulations to Rob Shenkman & Bertie Vallat, who won the Amateur Doubles Championship in a titanic three-hour battle that ended 5/6 6/1 4/6 6/3 6/3. This is the first time the pair has won this event, and it’s all the more impressive considering they beat five-time previous champions Ed Kay and Jamie Giddins for the famous Bailey Cup. 🔥👏🏆

T&RA board member and Cambridge University Real Tennis Club President Dr. Victoria Harvey presented the prizes and thanked Ben Ronaldson and The Queen's Club London for organising and hosting the event, as well as the 22 participants who played their part in a thrilling weekend.
