Arlington Tennis Center Junior Singles Open (Jr)

Thank you to all of the players who participated in the Arlington Tennis Center Junior Singles Open! We especially appreciate everyone's patience with the rain delay on Sunday morning.

Arlington Tennis Center emphasizes postive sportsmanship by selecting one boy and one girl from our ATC Junior Singles Open to receive sporstmanship awards. The officials and tournament staff selected the brother-sister duo, Aaron McMullan (B16) and Antonia McMullan (Championship G14) of Allen to receive this special recognition. Congratulations to these two outstanding examples of sportsmanship both on and off the court.
