USTA National Men's 45 Indoor Championships

From the airport, follow all signs taking you East on I-80. Usually these will say toward Cheyenne. I-80 will merge with I-15 for a few miles and then break off again. Stay on I-80 as it crosses Salt Lake and then enters Parley's Canyon. You will climb the canyon for about 15 minutes. After the Jeremy Ranch exit, you will need to take the Kimball Junction/Park City exit. At end of exit ramp, turn right and you are now on Hiway 224. Stay on this road for approximately 6 miles. After you have passed a big white barn on your RIGHT, you will want the 2nd stop light. Turn left at the light onto Holiday Ranch Loop Drive. (The Peaks Hotel is right on this corner). Follow Holiday Ranch Loop drive to a stop sign. Turn right onto Little Kate Road. The club is up on your left about 300 yards. Front desk phone number is 435-615-5401. See you soon!

The final draw is now posted. At this point, there will be no refunds of entry fees unless you come up with a whopper of a story for me! If you cannot make it to the tournament, please let us know in advance - no shows are a bummer! Please make sure to note if your match says "Salt L" next to it. This means you will be playing at the Salt Lake Tennis & Swim Club. We can provide transportation if you need it.

The Park City Racquet Club is thrilled the draw has grown by 25 players this year. We will have a full 64 draw for the first time! For the first day of the tournament, we will be using an additional site down in Salt Lake City.This site is approximately 25 minutes from the Park City Racquet Club. We will have shuttle drivers available to drive players down to these courts. If your match is scheduled in Salt Lake, there will be a notation next to your time that indicates it is in Salt Lake. Thanks!

The Tournament Desk will be open Sunday from 4:00 - 6:00pm for player check-in. Players are not required to check-in at this time. If you do not check in on Sunday, please make sure to check-in at least 30 minutes prior to your match. If your first match is in Salt Lake, you may check in at the Tournament Desk there.

Even though this tournament has nearly doubled in size from last year, we are are still planning on Friday finals for both singles and doubles. Doubles signups will be open until noon on Monday, November 10. Draws will be done in the afternoon. Doubles will start for some players on Monday evening.

I will have 2 or 3 courts set aside all day Saturday and Sunday before the tournament begins for players to walk-on and practice at no charge. If you would like to reserve a court at $20/hr, you can call the front desk at 435-615-5401. Reserved courts may not take up one of the walk-on courts. Reserved courts may be in the main building, or out in the "bubble". Bubble courts are the same surface as the courts where matchplay will take place.

We have $3125 in prize money for this tournament. Breakout of money will be as follows: Singles 1st - 6th: $500, $400, $300, $200, $100, $75. Doubles (per team)1st - 6th: $450, $350, $300, $200, $150, $100.

The Park City Racquet Club is at 7000 feet elevation. We use Wilson US Open High Altitude balls. The game is very fast paced at this altitude. I would suggest getting here at least 1 day early to get used to the game here.

We will have a player dinner upstairs at Coach's Bar & Grill Monday evening from 6:00 - 8:00pm. Food will be served buffet style. Players and their families are welcome to join us.

Please make sure your usta card is current with your home or cell phone number and your e-mail. Frequently players ask me to help them contact other players for doubles partnerings. Also - I send out e-mails with tournament updates. Go to usta.com to update your information or just send me an e-mail with all your information. Thanks, Laurie
