Our latest BMW Player Profile with Jarod Sargent

What a great night we had to end our latest Fast4 competition. Close tennis, great Sunshine Coast weather and of course, fantastic play.

Team Murray, with Michael Poulos, Mark Newman (subbing for Sam Catalano), Ben Alexander, Jarod Sargent and Cameron Poulos defeated Team Federer with Brad Cooper, Ben Rumble, Troy and Jack Dixon and Adrian Cooper by five sets to three.

Jarod Sargent made it two from two when his team won the division 2 grand final by five sets to three. His team with father Bruce, Cooper Drew and Jacob Trend proved worthy champions. The team of Doug Bitossi, Doug Alford-Jones, Margaret Hannan and Jeff Dempsey put up a great fight in a fitting final.

The new season will kick off on Thursday, August 18 and will run till the end of the year. Don’t miss out on a great night out.
