Packing Time
It's been two weeks, so I'm eager to get back out on the tennis trail. Although it will be a short trip, we've decided to go to the International Grass Courts in Philadelphia. In each of the past two years, we were there throughout the week; this year we're hoping to catch the quarterfinals through the finals. The entire atmosphere and ambience of the tournament is unique in my junior tennis travels, so even with Wimbledon coming up in a few weeks, I couldn't stay away from the Philadelphia Cricket Club. For complete draws, see the TennisLink site.
There is a women's $25K event in Allentown, Pa. this week, and four of the eight qualifiers are U.S. juniors: Kim Couts, Chelsea Preeg, Asia Muhammed and Christina McHale. The men's Pro Circuit event in Loomis, Calif. had a couple of college standouts qualifying for the main draw with Cory Parr of Wake Forest and Nate Schnugg of Georgia chalking up three wins. The Loomis News posted this article about the tournament's history and spoke with Mike McClune about the rigors of the Futures circuit. To follow the draws for these events, see usta.com.
