Draws for Intra-Club Tournament This Sunday!


Howdy!

Thanks to everyone who came out on Wednesday dressed in Wimbledon White. Congratulations to Samantha Jorden for winning best dressed for the occasion! Here are a few things to keep in mind in the upcoming days:

Intra-Club Tournament - Sunday September 18

The intraclub tournament draws are attached on the email as well as our website http://tennisclub.tamu.edu/ under the Important Info header on the right hand side.  There are A TON of y'all that signed up!!  That's awesome that so many of y'all are interested, but that does mean that matches will only be one set.  For those that don't know, that's part of the world team tennis format that we play at tournaments when we play other schools, so it'll be good practice for that anyway.
 
Singles will play in the morning (just to clarify, the times that state 8:00 through 12:00 are talking about AM start times) and doubles will be in the afternoon.  If you are being assigned to a doubles partner, meet at the courts at the scheduled start time and we'll match y'all up.

Tailgate/Idaho Game

Do you like Texas A&M football? Do you like to eat? If the answer is yes to either of these questions then come out and tailgate and watch the Aggies BTHO Idaho on September 17 with the tennis club! We will be tailgating starting at 2:30pm at the location that is attached to this email. If you have not picked up your sports pass yet, you can do so at the tailgate. We will leave tickets and sports passes at will call 30 minutes before the game.

Brazos Valley Tennis Association

If you are looking for as many ways as possible to play tennis, the BVTA (Brazos Valley Tennis Association) is a great outlet.  There are team tennis matches, tournaments, opportunities to teach tennis, and a good way to meet other players in the community.  If you are interested in the BVTA, contact Rod Hotz at rod@brazosvalleytennis.org

Remember there will be NO practice on Sunday because of the Intra-club tournament.

And remember...always hit the tweener.
