Tennis Australia today visited Greater Shepparton to inspect the facility options for the hosting of a potential tie of the senior Davis Cup and Federation Cup.
The organisation met with Council officers to look at all the available venues to assist them with their feasibility study to determine whether the region would be suitable.
Greater Shepparton has been the proud host of many major sporting events, including international, national and state events. Greater Shepparton previously hosted the 2015 Junior Davis Cup/Federation Cup Asian Oceania qualifying tie and successfully held one of the best Country Week events on record in 2014 at Shepparton and Mooroopna. Greater Shepparton will also host the 2019 event and is the host of the 2016 Tennis Seniors Australia teams carnival and individual championships.
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor Dinny Adem said “Greater Shepparton is keen to continue to be known as the major sporting capital for regional Australia and hosting international events such as the Davis Cup/Federation Cup would only enhance our reputation.”
“Collectively we are working hard to attract the best events to Greater Shepparton bringing more visitors, keeping local businesses busy and our economy strong,” said Cr Adem.
Tennis Australia’s Event Manager Paul Daly said “we are confident an event of this size could take place here. Shepparton is very aggressive in obtaining high class events and a lot of events throughout the year and hopefully we can be one of those.”
