Notes
We had a great first day of tennis! I know tomorrow will be really
tough matches.
A few reminders:
Check-in requirement is 15 minutes before match is scheduled.
You will go on if there is a court
open.
Keep bags and personal items
out of the main walkways. Tomorrow, the club leagues matches and
lessons will be ongoing.
I thought the sportsmanship/line calls were very good! Keep it
up!
Sleep and eat well!
Sunday match times in the backdraw will be determined by the
doubles and singles results.
