Notes

forecasted to begin later on this morning, the Green Ball and
Yellow Ball tennis tournament is moving indoors to the Naperville
Tennis Club, 1011 East Benton Ave, Naperville, IL 60540. The tennis
club is located in a residential community, so if your GPS takes
you to an area with residential homes, you are in the right place.
Please call either Steve Haas at 630-660-1943 or the Naperville
Tennis Club at 630-355-5600 if you have any questions. Thank
you.
UPDATE AS OF 6/13 @ 9:00 PM: For the Orange Ball
Tournament (both B10U and G10U), the draws will not be posted
ahead of time (but will be available at the tournament). The Orange
Ball Tournament is an indoor tournament and starts on Saturday at
6:00 PM at the Naperville Tennis Club, 1011 East Benton Ave,
Naperville, IL 60540 (for those of you coming to the club for the
1st time, it is located in a residential community so if you find
that your GPS is taking you to an area with residential homes, you
are in the right place).
For the B10U Green, G10U Green, B12 and B14 divisions, the
draws have been posted so please check online for your match times.
This tournament is scheduled to be an outdoor tournament at the
Knoch Park Tennis Courts, 724 West Street, Naperville, IL 60540.
Please note that this address will direct you to the main parking
lot for the park (which is very large) and the main parking lot is
a 7-10 minute walk to the tennis courts. You may also Google the
Naperville Central High School location and have your GPS take you
there as the tennis courts are located right across the street from
the high school parking lot (and there is also street parking right
next to the tennis courts as well). If you are using the USTA
App on your phone, DO NOT use the Map/Directions feature on the
App as this will direct you to the Naperville Tennis Club,
which is located 3-4 miles away from the tennis courts. In the
event of rain, please check online here for a note that the
tournament has moved indoors to the Naperville Tennis Club, 1011
East Benton Ave, Naperville, IL 60540. Please note, if any player
is in the finals of the Front Draw or Back Draw and that Final
match would be their 4th match of the day, then the finals will be
moved to Sunday at 9:00 AM. Also, while all of the match times are
posted, some of the Back Draw match times may need to be adjusted
based on the outcome of Front Draw matches. For example, you will
notice that some Back Draws have the same times for 2 consecutive
rounds of matches for a player (e.g., the QF round may have a match
time of 1:00 PM and the SF round may have a match time of 1:00 PM
as well). If the earlier round match ends up being played in the
Back Draw (due to the results of the Front Draw matches), then the
subsequent round matches in the Back Draw will have to have their
times adjusted accordingly. If you have any questions about this,
please check with the Tournament Director.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, and if you have any
questions, please contact the Tournament Director, Steve Haas, at
630-660-1943. Thanks!
If you should have any questions, after reading the tournament
notes, please feel free to contact the Tournament Director, Steve
