Beach tennis is a discipline within tennis that can be enjoyed by all and allows for family engagement. This was proven to be the case when father and son pairing of George and Herman Pieterse took on Jody Claassen and Lionel Jarrard during their first round encounter at the KIA Summer Slam in Cape St Francis.

While the KIA Summer Slam is a professional circuit, it is all about the players and having fun.
The fun element is the most important as it allows everyone to be part of the action.

In the women’s doubles, Kyla Yelverton (RSA) progressed to the semi final, with her Russian partner, Natalia Stepanova by defeating Yulia Borisova (RUS) and Elizaveta Zorina

The men’s action saw a number of SA pairings in action, with the teams of Deandre Dreyer and
Frans Ledwaba as well as Lionel Jarrard and Jody Claassen have first round victories and progressing to the quarter finals.
