Tennis In Paradise

Geelong Lawn Tennis Club members might be forgiven at times for thinking that they play in a "tennis paradise" given the quality of the facilities available. However, club members Melissa Mortimer & Lauren McAuley know of another tennis paradise, particularly in the Victorian winter!
