Detailed Report by 2Lt Alex Hadcock:
The prestigious Inter-Services Tennis Championships - the pinnacle of the UK Armed Forces’ Tennis calendar - took place at the superb Edgbaston Priory Club on 31 Jul and 01 Aug 17, pitching the very best of the Army, RAF and Royal Navy against one another across the Mens, Ladies and Mens & Ladies 'Masters' categories. With the Army looking to retain the Mens and Ladies titles against increasingly strong opposition, the pressure was high; those selected to represent the Army had just competed in the Army Championships at Aldershot, followed by additional squad training, so players were geared up and ready to fight for their titles.
