Fifth Third Bank Tennis Championships
Cross Court Tennis is excited that the Ryan Holder will once again be played during the Fifth Third Bank Tennis Championships. The Fifth Third will be providing all Ryan Holder competitors with a pass to attend the Lexington Challenger for the finals weekend. We are still working out the details, but parents will be able to purchase a weekend pass that will be very inexpensive. We would encourage all players and parents to attend as much of the Lexington Challenger as possible for some very exciting action. More information will be put on this site as it is worked out.

Rules Changes for 2011
The following rule changes will take place for all USTA Sanctioned Tournaments beginning in 2011:
- All matches with a full 3rd set receive a 10 minute break before starting the 3rd set (this change gives the 10 minute break to the 18 & Under Division)
- When playing a Match Tiebreak in Lieu of the 3rd Set, players receive a 3 minute break where coaching is allowed.
Suggestions: The players should stay on the court during this time and coaching should be done through the fence. Note: If a player is not back to the court and ready to play after the 3 minute break, the player is defaulted from the match (this stems from the rule that if you are late after a break, the player receives a game penalty) Note: If a player goes to the restroom during the break, he/she is granted extra time. The opponent can receive coaching throughout the entire break if the player who is going to the bathroom is believed to be receiving coaching.
- A player loses the point if he/she reverses the call from “out” to “in”.
