Hey Tennis Friends!
I’m following up on the US Open National Qualifying Playoffs, which took place this past June at The Claremont Club in Claremont, California. See the original report here: 2012 US Open National Playoffs
This was the Southern California section of the summer-long contest.
As I was reporting on another event, I bumped in to one of the players who is headed to New Haven:
It was great of West to allow me to poke a little fun at what I perceive is their lack of preparation. However, like they said, why fix it, if it isn’t broken?
More information on the U.S. Open National Playoffs:
The winner of each Sectional Qualifying Tournament in each division (men’s singles, women’s singles, mixed doubles) will advance to the US Open National Playoffs Championships in their respective division taking place in New Haven, CT at Yale University during the New Haven Open at Yale, a WTA event, part of the Emirates Airline US Open Series (August 17-20 for singles, August 22-25 for mixed doubles).
