Fresh Facilities, Classic Competition At The Sugar Bowl 2025

For every year since its inception in 1981, the Sugar Bowl has served up a weekend full of all-round entertainment and good quality tennis. This year's edition was no different.

However, unlike any year in the past, this year’s event saw the opening of a brand-new, wheelchair-accessible amenities block. Players and spectators alike gathered early on Saturday morning to witness the official opening of the facility, at which Member for Burdekin Dale Last and Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort were both present.

“The design makes a statement—it’s no longer just a rudimentary toilet block, but a functional, welcoming, and classical structure that enhances our club’s identity,” said Home Hill Tennis Association (HHTA) Secretary, Kate Casswell.

The opening of the amenities marked the commencement of the tournament, with hundreds of players battling it out for ultimate glory across a range of skill and age-based divisions.

A SMASH HIT!
