East Glos tennis player Felicity Thomas selected for Great Britain

East Glos tennis member Felicity Thomas has been selected to play for Great Britain in the World Championships in Umag, Croatia, in September.

This will be her first year in the over 75s and she joins two of last year’s team who won the silver medal.

Originally planned for Turkey, the ITF have rescheduled both venue and dates following the attack in Istanbul at the end of June. Some countries were reportedly declining to send teams to Turkey and it is too early to know which may go to Croatia. Whilst Felicity had said she would have been prepared to go to Turkey, she feels happier that the ITF have reconsidered and is looking forward to the challenge.
