Both events are in Gedye's home town but he will play in different age groups.

The grasscourt open, which wraps up on Wednesday, is Gedye's last in the 16 and under section.

He will play in the under 18 group at the three-day inter-regional tournament, which starts on January 8 and is also at the Lake Pertobe tennis complex.

The inter-regionals consist of 11 country-based clubs and runs for three days.

Gedye played under 16s, open men and doubles at the grasscourt open.

The Emmanuel College student's run in the junior singles came to an end on Tuesday after a three-set match against Ballarat's Jarrod Joyce.

Joyce won the semi-final 5-7, 6-2, 11-9 in one hour 41 minutes.

"I had played him a couple of years ago and lost to him in a super tiebreak as well," Gedye said.

"He's a left-hander, so very different to me.

"You have to change your whole tactics and serve to the other side, it's difficult."

Gedye was pleased with his performance overall. It was just his second tournament back - he played in Bendigo recently - following the COVID-19 interruptions.

"I felt like I hit pretty well," he said.

"I have been working hard on my match-play with my coach Matt Moloney and it was just good to be out there playing matches.

"It's been good after the long break. Through the second lockdown I was still getting coached but not hitting as much as I usually would."

Gedye, who enjoys watching livewire Australian Nick Kyrgios, was the number two seed in the 16 and under boys' section.

The teenager, whose younger brother Toby also plays, said he liked challenging himself and wanted to become the best player he could.

"My forehand is definitely a strength and I have to work on my footwork and covering the court," he said.

The Warrnambool Grasscourt Open men's semi-finals and final will be on Wednesday.

Former Warrnambool player Wihan Van Der Merwe, who is the number two seed, will play Wes George Neylon for a spot in the decider.

Number one seed Nicholas Jovanovski and Matthew Nathan Allis will clash in the other semi-final.

The women's final will be between Nicole Mullen, who is a regular at Warrnambool-based competitions, and Breanna Cerasa.
