Jason Kubler flies in from Tokyo for

Unveiling of Kubler Tennis Court

In what can only be described as a truly remarkable indication
of the value that Aussie Doubles Grand Slam Champion, Jason
Kubler places on his family and his Community, he flew in to
Mango Hill from Tokyo to participate in the opening of the
Kubler Tennis court at the Mango Hill Community Centre on
6th May. Only hours later, he flew back to Tokyo to continue
his overseas tennis commitments.

It was a special occasion for the Kubler Clan of Mum, Lyn,
Jonathon, Jason and Jade & their extended family, as the name
of Mango Hill Tennis Court was formerly unveiled as the Kubler
Tennis Court to honour the commitment of the family to tennis
in Mango Hill over the past 28 years. (Lyn is also a Life Member of
the Mango Hill Progress Association.)
