Billie Jean King salutes Queenswood’s National Tennis Champions
Tuesday 5 December 2017
Queenswood’s tennis aces are celebrating their historic victory at the National Team Tennis Championships in Bolton on 1 December.
The competition started back in April with 2,500 schools across the country entering. Queenswood battled through the County round, Regional knock-out and Regional finals to reach the Nationals, where they faced the Regional winners from the South East, South West, North and Midlands.
The girls played both singles and doubles rounds, culminating in a fiercely-contested match against arch rivals Talbot Heath, which Queenswood won 4-2.
The legendary Billie Jean King was quick to tweet a message of support following the victory.
Congratulations, champions!

It has been an incredible year for Queenswood tennis, with our girls reaching the final of the Aberdare Cup in July and picking up the bronze medal at the World Schools Tennis Championships in Brazil.
