USTA National Men's 45 Clay Court Championships Sponsored By RK Properties

Players By Event

Originally there was 4 matches scheduled at 5:00 PM Sunday. They have been re-scheduled to 2:00 PM. The draw that is posted is correct and reflects the changes that we have made.

For those who played last year and for all that are interested, the renovations that were in progress last year have been completed.

Which is being held at the Historic Lauderdale Tennis Club. This tournament is normally in October but due to scheduling conflicts with other major Senior events scheduled for October, it became necessary to make this easy for all and move it to April 20-27. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at (954) 873-1803 or e-mail me at Frank@Firstserves.net.

TOURNAMENT SHIRT GIFT As in the past, the tournament will issue a tournament shirt to each registered player. Since there is no opportunity to tell us your shirt size when registering for the tournament on the internet, it will be necessary for each player to contact me via e-mail at Frank@Firstserves.net to tell us your shirt size. Players, please do not call or contact the Club for this purpose. Players who do not contact me by the deadline to inform us of their shirt size are subject to receiving whatever size shirts are available when checking in at the tournament desk.

Doubles Sign Up If you are planning to play doubles, please sign up online even if you do not have your partner yet. You will be allowed time after the entry deadline to finalize your pairings. The doubles deadline will be noon on Monday. Draws will then be made, and doubles may begin Monday evening. Doubles is a full feed-in consolation draw. Prize money will be for 1,2, and 3 place in doubles.
