Excitement

Tennis is known as an extremely quiet sport ... we want loudness, we want action!

The Servers has been reborn as the Legacy @ Wanderers Servers and they are part of the reason why the 2024 Ctrack Showdown wille be hosted at The Wanderers Country Club, home to Legacy Tennis Academy. Unfortunately the team has not yet moved from the 4th position in 2 events … what will this year bring for them?

Born in the Free State with initial owner rugby legend Ollie le Roux the Showdown Rockets was the team that won the first Showdown event in 2023. Later the same year during the second event they managed to come second. With new ownership we all are wondering “what will this year bring!”. Stay tuned to find out.

The African Giants has been a formidable team during both events coming third in the first event and winning the second. With much controversy surrounding the African Giants’ draft selection (stealing Donna le Roux from the Rockets during the first event) we are sure that more fun and excitement will be heading our way!

The only team lead by a tennis celebrity and previous Davis Cup player and captain as well as ATP doubles professional they always provide much excitement. The Axnosis Badgers are lead by tennis enthusiast John-Laffnie de Jager and he is ready to bring out some spectacular moves in 2024. In the previous events they respectively came second and third, what will 2024 bring?
