This week’s ISC tennis clash had it all—**big hits, bold rallies, and brilliant battles**—but only one new qualifier** for the Grand Final on **June 8th**, and this weeks winners were:
🥁 **Tip “Flawless” Flory** – with a solid 20 points and 62.5%, Tip tips the scales in her favour and snags the top spot this week.
🔥 **Wayne “Still Got It” Peberdy** – already qualified, but still turning up and turning heads with another strong performance.
🚀 **Mike “Mr Consistent” Reding** – matching Wayne with 19 points, securing second place like a seasoned pro!
But wait, **Catherine Backhouse** also scored 19! A performance that definitely deserves a celebratory backhand of applause 👏—The only new qualifier this week as the already qualified just keep hogging all the limelight!
Also, hats off to **Hollie Newton, Anna Brown, Mark Wooton and Veronica**, all above the Mr. Average 50%
