Thank you to all of the players and families who traveled to Midland for this event. The play was superb as was the sportsmanship of the players. We had 7 players nominated for the Sportsmanship Award by tournament officials and players: Campbell, Page, Letzer, Amarnath, Brown, MacNamara and Brown. It was hard to select one winner because all were very deserving. The tournament staff congratulates Ben Letzer for his behavior on and off court, his respect for his opponents, the offials and the game of tennis.

Please plan to register at the Tournament Desk at least 30 minutes prior to your first match so that we can get your local contact information for the weekend, give you the Player Information sheet and your tournament gift, and so that we know you are on site and will be ready to play when your match is called. ‘Registering’ for the tournament is not the same as ‘checking-in’ for your matches-- we will not put out any matches early without agreement from both players. All match times beyond the first round are estimates. Please check with the tournament following each match and get your next match time.

Practice Courts - Please read the all of the information below before calling!

Or

9 am - noon there are limited courts available so players may be required to share warm up courts. We will place up to 4 players per court and players are limited to ½ hour of court time. There is also no guarantee that there will be others desiring a warm up court at the same time you do so be prepared with a parent/coach to hit with if needed. Players will be charged based on the number of players assigned to the court (1 player - $10, 2 players - $5 each, 3 or 4 players - $2.50 each).

Sunday

There will be free 1/2 hour warm up courts before matches between 7:30 and 8:30 am Sunday, reservations will not be required. Reservations for warm up courts for later than 8:30 am Sunday will be available after your last match on Saturday at the welcome center.

Please help us manage the courts by checking in at the welcome center and getting your court reservation card. Please do not go on any court without a court reservation card. Please do not bring additional players to the shared courts on Saturday without checking at the welcome center for space availability as there may already be four on the court.
