What an experience 12 year old Sam Lane is getting playing for your country at the venue of one of the worlds grandslam's home of the Australian Open.By all reports Lane is performing well and getting plenty of court time.As a coach it justifies the hours spent on court when you see a junior under your guidance achieve a very important goal.The above pictures are the New Zealand 12s Boys and Girls team, Sam is back row left.Pictured right Sam is in action from one of his matches.
Here is a little of what Sam's father said in an email today
"Sam has been the dbls partner to Kyle so far. They had 2
match points against NSW but couldn't finish it. I got back
here on Sunday and Clint said Sam was on fire against NSW
and Victoria but they couldn't quite finish it. They were on
court for 14 hrs on Sat.
He played singles today against Queensland and beat there
No2 6/3 4/6 6/4 after 3 1/2 hrs but unfortunately has rolled
his ankle. Hopefully ok tomorrow the physios really good
here. Had there photo with Scott Draper today. Boys are
blown away by the whole experience here, especially with the
wildcard playoff for the Aussie open taking place now. Quite
a good report on TNZ website"Read that report here
