Today, we hosted the Melbourne Open 2024 at the Epping Tennis Club, with 13 participants competing. The tournament was highly competitive, featuring four players who each won 4 out of 5 games. Ultimately, the MBQ was used to determine the finalists.
In the championship match, 13 times Australian National champion Matthew Vinar faced off Ivan Chan. Matt let Ivan choose the colour, but the draw would result in Matt's victory. Despite a decisive victory over Ivan in the Swiss round (54-10), Ivan surprisingly put up a strong fight in the final, resulting in a draw game (32-32).
Matt was crowned the champion of the Melbourne Open for the third year in a row. Congratulations, Matt!
