Doubles
We will be playing doubles first both Thursday and Friday morning. We used this format at the 2006 and 2007 events and received nothing but compliments. This format keeps players from leaving town early if they are eliminated from singles quickly. Doubles first also gets everyone warmed up for their singles matches. In order to do this we need to make the doubles draw Wednesday night. If you have a partner please let me know by email at tennisproken@yahoo.com or you may call 513-489-9700. You can check the competitor's list to see who is playing and who has already secured a partner. I can contact potential partners for you. If you do not intend to play doubles let me know so I may open up that spot to an alternate.
