Prestwick Academy students have been shortlisted for the Team of the Year award at the annual Tennis Scotland Awards.
The team was successful in every round of the schools competition where they qualified for the National Finals in Nottingham and gained valuable experience. They also finished second in the First Division of the Regional Finals of the Scottish Schools tournament.
With last year’s award winners celebrated at the esteemed Davis Cup Finals in Glasgow, the Tennis Scotland Awards return as a stand-alone black-tie event hosted by special guest and comedian Josh Berry on Friday, March 31.
Blane Dodds, Tennis Scotland chief executive, said: “It has been a very successful year for tennis in Scotland with record membership numbers and events like the Davis Cup Finals and Billie Jean King Cup Finals being hosted in Scotland.
With record entries across many competitions, tennis is clearly thriving, and we have decided to return to an Awards dinner to celebrate, with our award nominees and winners, what has been another fantastic year for tennis in Scotland.
"We are proud to announce the shortlist for 2023 and recognise the individuals that played their part in growing and developing tennis over the last year. I would like to congratulate everyone who has been shortlisted and look forward to announcing the winners soon.”
Tennis Scotland Awards will take place on Friday, March 31 at Stirling Court Hotel in front of an audience of over 100 members of the tennis community.
The awards are a key part of the tennis calendar in Scotland and celebrate the success and hard work within the community game through to the world stage.
This year, the awards will be marking an incredible year of growth in the sport with tennis memberships soaring to an all-time high of 75,000.
