For those who missed the action, our Sandgate Tennis 1 Point Slam was a smashing success!

After hosting an offical AO 1 Point Slam event as part of the Australian Open last December, we got hooked on this super-fun format and decided to hold one of our own!  On 22 February 2026, we held our very first Sandgate Tennis 1 Point Slam alongside an exciting demo day featuring the cutting-edge Solinco Sports racquets and strings (www.solincosports.com.au).

A huge thank you to everyone who came down to support the event and made the day such a success!  The tournament was a lot of fun, with the added pressure of 1 Point Slam’s unique challenge: only one serve per point!  Every player also got the chance to use one of the many high-performance Solinco demo racquets on hand during the event.

A big congratulations to our champion, Fausto Kotama! Fausto was undoubtedly the most consistent player in the event, earning him a well-deserved victory – plus a brand new Solinco racquet! Here is Fausto proudly receiving his new racquet from Sue and Brian, the passionate team who distribute and represent Solinco Sports in Australia and New Zealand.

Solinco is a rising brand in Australia, and is making waves with their new range of racquets!  Already well known for their internationally renowned strings, they are a relatively new player in the racquet scene so we were very excited to have the opportunity to try out their exciting new range.

Sandgate Tennis are proud supporters and stockists of Solinco, and we have a number of demo racquets in stock for you to try.  Just give us a call on 0423 066 022 and arrange a hit, and experience an innovative Solinco racquet firsthand.
