“It’s very special to watch senior players at this level compete in a national tournament. Senior tennis competitors have a unique style of play when it comes to setting up points to make that winning shot,” said Tournament Director Bill Kellogg. “With a strong tournament field, we’re expecting a very entertaining week of championship tennis.”
