Thank You For A Great first Day Of Play
We are looking forward to a smooth and hopefully early finish for our Sunday Semifinals and Finals matches. We are asking players and parents to check in with the tournament desk early and often to help facilitate moving matches earlier. We understand that some will have to travel a long way to get home so if possible and with suitable rest for the players we are looking to complete play within a reasonable time frame on Sunday. Thank you again and see you on the courts. Ian Mindell

Draws are Complete and Posted
Please check your draws for your first match times. We are looking forward to a fun weekend of competitive tennis. We have added a 3rd/4th playoff to the tournament so all of you that make or are in the semifinals please make sure that you are aware of the playoff for 3rd place should you lose that semifinal match. Matches start at 8am on Saturday morning so warm-up for players will not be available after the first matches have started. Please show up early for your scheduled match so if possible we can start play early or on time to keep on schedule. Thank you and see you on the court. Ian Mindell
