ABOUT THE 2020 CLAY COURTS

crown jewel tennis destinations in the Southwest, and one of the
finest tennis facilities in the country.
The Southwest Clay Courts is one of four surface Slam Series events
held for adults in the Southwest with a Level 1
classification.
TOURNAMENT FORMAT: Format for this event will be best two of
three sets, with a 10-point tiebreaker for the third. Singles
scoring is regular (with ads), doubles scoring will be no-ad.
First match loser's consolation matches will be attempted for all
singles divisions (if players don't play, we will make efforts to
pair you with other players from the division or other divisions).
Consolation matches will be played on hard courts and the
facility's one grass court.

way, so we will not let terrible behavior on the tennis court be
