SAVE THE DATE: LOPEZ ISLAND TENNIS TOURNAMENT
Aug 6-8, 2010
This August 6-8th will be the 10th anniversary for the Lopez Open Tennis Tournament, and it is really a fun tournament. There is a draw party the night before that is always great fun. Draws include Women's Doubles, Men's Single and Doubles, and Mixed. The last 3 years has seen some really good men's tennis. The women have ranged with ratings of 2.0 to 4.0, the men's tennis has seen a State Junior Champion playing in the doubles, whiz kid twins, plus several teaching pros. So really fun tennis. Housing can be arranged.
The website is www.LICTA.com which will have the entry forms and more info for the tournament closer to the date. |
