Congrats to all players who were selected to participate in this years FNMC / National City National Open. I will do my best to update this page as frequently as possible to provide you with as much information as possible. If I miss something or if you have a question for me please email me djbutler@thetccp.com. I do check my phone messages but your response will come back much faster if you email. I look forward to seeing everyone in a couple of weeks.

Once again we will have a gift exchange for all first round matches. Everyone will need to bring a small gift from their home town. For example, I am from Maryland so I would probably give my opponent something with a crab since we are famous for our great crabs. We will have all the kids exchange gifts with their first round opponent. All gifts should be small and under $10. We will present an award for the most creative gift on the first day.

Please be here for National Open Check-In at the Tennis Center at College Park between 4-6pm on Friday May 18th. All players will be held accountable for information given out at the Mandatory Check-In.

Yes, you will need to provide your USTA Card at the tournament site before playing your first match. No excuses this year!

This year I am happy to announce that the FNMC National City May National Open will be held at one site. We will be using 8 outdoor decoturf II courts and also 8 indoor decoturf II courts for the first weekend. The sides of our indoor facility have the ability to open up and since its the same decoturf surface as the outdoor courts it will play the same as outdoor. (Just without the sun). Day 1: Boys will play outside and the girls will play inside Day 2: Girls will play outside and the boys will play inside In the case of rain, all matches will move to the eight indoor courts .

We are encouraging everyone to play doubles this year. We are playing around with different ideas as to when to play the doubles however we are going to do our best to get the doubles finished as soon as possible. Doubles sign up will stay open until 12 Noon on Saturday May 19th.

The alternates list has been posted. The alternates has been ordered based on the April 25th standings list. Only a portion of names have been seeded and more names will be ordered as necessary.
