TOURNAMENT IS STILL ON - MASKS REQUIRED WHILE PLAYING!!
Unfortunately, the Health Dept was misinformed about the Kentucky governors current orders. MASKS ARE STILL REQUIRED WHILE PLAYING TENNIS INDOORS IN KENTUCKY (I will refrain from any personal comments). After several discussions with USTA , we will still have the tournament , but all players are required to wear and mask / face shield while playing.
If you registered prior and would like to withdraw, you can do so online. Please note this is out of our control. Thanks !
