Notes
The USTA National Men's 75 & 80 Grass Court Championships
will be held at the Wessen Lawn Tennis Club in Pontiac, Michigan.

US in more than 100 years with 24 perennial rye grass courts, 4
hard courts, olympic-size pool and clubhouse featuring snack bar,
wood-burning pizza ovens and viewing deck.
Tournament Schedule Update - Day 4 Thursday 8/24
All singles matches (75 & 80 main and consolation draws) start
at 11:00 am; all doubles matches (75 main and consolation draws)
start at 3:00 pm. Player party is from 6-9 pm; guests are
welcome.
Schedule
Full schedule is up on all draws. Schedule is designed to be as
balanced as possible and avoid players having to play multiple
matches in one event in the same day; the three match start times
(11:00 am, 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm) are the same every day. *Please
note that in the event of rain, the schedule as set may change and
depending on the severity of weather matches may be changed to
followed-by scheduling.
Seeds
Seeds have been posted - please contact Tournament Director with
any questions or concerns.
*Fees*
The registration fee information listed above has caused some
confusion, so to clarify, cost is based on the number of events
played (regardless of singles/doubles). The correct format is: 1st
Event - $134.88; 2nd Event - $75.75. It is NOT $134.88 each to play
BOTH singles and doubles.
Practice Courts and Tournament Start
Practice courts will be available all day Sunday. To book a
practice time please email Peter.WLTC@gmail.com. Players without a
scheduled slot may use available courts on a first come first serve
basis. Players are free to use the hard courts for the duration of
the event.
Tournament matches will begin Monday at 11:00 am.
