We’re excited to share that an extensive court treatment has just been carried out on our five main synthetic grass courts!

The work was done by industry experts Sportzing and is designed to improve playability and extend the life of our courts. As part of the upgrade, ½ a tonne of sand was added to each of Courts 5, 6, 7, and 8, to restore correct infill depth and improve playing performance..

A big thank you to our local superstar, Alec Reverente, whose win at the AO 1-Point Slam earned Sandgate & District Youth Tennis Association a $5,000 grant from Tennis Australia. We’ve put that funding straight back into improving our courts for everyone to enjoy.

For those who missed the thrilling AO 1 Point Slam, broadcast live on 14 January 2026 from Rod Laver Arena during the Australian Open, we’re incredibly proud to share that Sandgate Tennis’s very own Alec Reverente competed like a true champion, representing Queensland with pride!

The 1‑Point Slam is a new event with a high-stakes, single-point format featuring 48 players, including top pros like Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Nick Kyrgios, and Coco Gauff.  This year’s event was unforgettable, with amateur Jordan Smith from NSW winning – taking out the $1 million prize in front of a hyped crowd!

Alec, who won Sandgate Tennis’s 1‑Point Slam event and the QLD State Final on his way to competing in the Australian Open 1‑Point Slam, was one of the final two amateurs remaining in the national draw.  This qualified him for the play-off for a brand-new Kia EV3, and with nerves of steel, Alec won the car!

Alec’s success also earned Sandgate & District Youth Tennis Association a $5,000 grant from Tennis Australia, which will fund a court treatment for our five main synthetic grass courts and help keep them in tip top condition.

Congratulations, Alec – Sandgate Tennis and your whole community are bursting with pride!

The Sandgate Tennis Inaugural 1 Point Slam

On Sunday 14 December 2025, Sandgate Tennis hosted our very first AO 1 Point Slam tournament!

Firstly, a big thank you to everyone who entered the event. It was a pleasure to host the tournament and to watch all those who supported it battle it out on court.

If you’re new to the 1 Point Slam, the best way to describe it is the ultimate leveller – a tournament that’s open to all ages and abilities, where everyone battles it out for a single point: winner moves on, loser is out….until just one player remains! Club champions advance to the State Final, and the top 10 from each State get an all-expenses-paid trip to Melbourne and a chance to take on other amateurs and pros at the Australian Open 1 Point Slam Final for a share of $1 MILLION – plus there’s a brand new Kia for the amateur champ!

The action here at Sandgate Tennis was fast and furious, with its fair share of errors – but I’m sure everyone who played would agree it was incredibly exciting!

Commiserations to those who fell victim to the dreaded double fault. We hope you were able to drown your sorrows and have already begun planning your redemption for next year.

Congratulations to our winner, Alec Reverente, who defeated Mirat Mezensof in the final. Alec will now progress to the Queensland Final of the 1 Point Slam, where he’ll compete for a chance to travel to Melbourne for the Australian Open to play in the National Final.  A very well-deserved win, Alec.

Take a look at some of Sunday’s action!
