GIRLS’ BATTLE
Billingy won the National female title in 2020. This year, although it is now 21-and-Under, she is still the favourite. Her main competition will come from 2022 Girls Doubles champions Thuraia Thomas and Crystal Melville and her age group nemesis Samara Sukhai.

Van Lange finished as runner-up in the 21U male competition in 2020 to Elishaba Johnson, while he won the ‘B’ Class Open.

The 2022 version of that event is set to serve off the third weekend of the National Championships.
The B Class Open and the Men’s Singles would start on February 5, while on February 6, both will conclude along with the Women’s Singles.
