in the doubles draw.
All doubles starting times are still Sat. 9:30am.
Also, there are changes in the singles draw.
Parents are asking about the current Erie weather!What snow?
LOL!
No need to be 'nervous'
Just drive defensively, allow ample time, and have usual winter
weather supplies in the car.
Wed. morning was very snowy, but 40 plows, working 24/7, have swept
all snow off main roads.
In routine days at our club on Wed./Thurs, there were no
cancellations! It's 70+ indoors!
Fri. forecast is for snow showers and 1-3" of snow.
Sat/Sun/Mon are just OK. Once you arrive at our Club and your
hotel, you'll feel like you've already won a tennis match. There
are solid 32 singles and 16 doubles draws.
Again, drive defensively and allow ample time, and we'll all get
thru this happy, healthy & safely!
