MONROE - The first of three summer tennis tournaments, sponsored by the Monroe Park and Recreation Department, is slated for the weekend of June 25-26.
This will be the 40th annual city singles tournament and it is open to anyone.
The tournament could feature up to six brackets, but in recent years has been limited to four because of enrollment. The brackets include Class A Mens and Womens, the championship flight; Class B Mens and Womens, which is for the intermediate players; and the 14 & under brackets for boys and girls.
The brackets will close after 16 players have entered to prevent playing more than two matches in one day. The entry fee is $10 for players 14 years of age and older and $5 for the 14 and younger group.
The womens and youth brackets will start at 8 a.m. Saturday, June 25, at Recreation Park. The mens brackets will follow at 12:30 p.m. All final matches will be played Sunday afternoon.
Tennis awards including T-shirts and trophies will be awarded. Tennis balls are furnished by the park department.
A city doubles tournament will follow July 16-17 and mixed doubles Aug. 6-7.
To register or for more information, call tournament director Jim Bartholf (608) 325-9402. The deadline to enter is Friday, June 24, at noon.
