Your serve?

04/11/2013

By JARROD POTTER

IF you have a rocket serve, best get down to Dandenong Tennis Club on Saturday to test your mettle at the Australian Open Blitz.
If you have what it takes to hit the fastest serve, come along to win an opportunity to clock your speed on Rod Laver Arena during the 2014 Australian Open.
The AO Blitz is the largest participation drive in Australian tennis history, and offers both experienced players and those who have never picked up a racquet the chance to win major prizes and have an Australian Open 2014 player represent their local town.
As part of the Dandenong Show celebrations, the AO Blitz will take Dandenong Tennis Club at Greaves Reserve by storm and test the pace of the best servers in the Greater Dandenong area.
The event starts at 9am and runs until 5pm.
