Masters Players of the Year : Danielle Moffat (from CCJ) and Yolande Faver (from Bryanston Sports Club)

There is very little to separate these top female masters and club players. They were selected to represent SA at the over 45 Masters World Team Championships (along with Lisca Nel from CCJ). Here the team only lost one match (to France in the group stages) to claim 9th place in the team event. Danny and Yolande then paired up in the doubles at the individual World Champs where they lost in the final to a Dutch pairing, claiming the silver medal at this prestigious event.

Back in SA the won every event that they entered – the only exception being at GETA where in a round robin count out, Yolande emerged victorious over Danny even though Danny won their encounter at this event. Yolande claimed the singles title at GETA, the singles and doubles titles in Mpumalanga and the singles, doubles and mixed titles at the Strand event. Yolande captained the BSC Mixed team that won the title in 1.1. Danny claimed the doubles title at GETA, the singles and doubles titles in KZN and the singles title at the Jozi Open. Danielle was part of the CCJ Ladies team that won the premier title in the Egoli League.
Both ladies support their respective clubs on the court as well as off court by serving on their club committees.

Junior Play of the Year : Jordan Haynes (Florida Park Tennis Club)

As a 16-year old, Jordan represented JT at # 3 at IPT in Jan helping the team defeat the favourites (Tshwane) in the semis and then going on to win gold after defeating KZN in the finals. Despite still being u16, Jordan was selected not for the u17 SA Schools Team but rather for the u19 SA Schools team. He reached 8 singles finals in u16 events in 2025, winning titles at the GETA Super 8 and the Marks Park Grand Prix. Jordan also reached 7 doubles finals winning 4 titles including the Super 8 titles in GETA, Free State and Tshwane and the doubles title at the Marks Park Grand Prix.
At the IPT trials in 2025 for the 2026 event, Jordan ended up as runner-up and will play number 2 for the district at the u19 event.
The junior star won the singles title at Florida Park TC and played and won all five singles matches in the league helping his team secure a credible 2nd place in 2.1.
Jordan was the top ranked Joburg player in u16 and u17 age groups and a top 10 player nationally in singles and in doubles.
