Weather Issues
3 PM Monday July 26
We are on a one hour delay. All matches that were on the court when we stopped play need to return at 4 pm. All other matches are delayed one hour. 2:30 matches that are not on the court need to return at 4pm.
We are planning on starting play at 5:30 today. All players including those not on the court need to be at NTC at 5:30.

Please check your match times
You will notice that the main draw is now only showing one match for Sunday. That is because the 4th round matchs were mistakenly scheduled on the wrong day. In order to maintain the flow of players from the main draw into the consolation and giving ample rest between matches only one main draw match can be played on days other than the first and last day of a tournament.

Re-Check your First Match Time
We had some withdraw and had to move seeds. Please check your First Match Times as they may have changed.
