RLTSC Hosts LTA
Tournament 180808 - 230808

RADLETT JUNIOR AND MENS OPEN TENNIS TOURNAMENT
MONDAY 18 TO SATURDAY 23 AUGUST
Do you know about the prestigious
LTA Official Junior Open Tournament that RLTSC has been holding for a number
of years? Are you aware that the Radlett Tournament is rated as one of the
best in the country?
If you are like me then probably
not. Well, this was the case until recently when I was roped in to help
organise it. I was amazed at the talent of the youngsters that entered. We
have Grand Prix status across all age groups. Grand Prix status means
that children can improve their LTA ranking by playing at these events. We
therefore expect to attract some of the best juniors in the country.
This year we are also repeating the
success of previous years when we simultaneously held a men’s open
tournament with the matches being played in the evening. The winner this
year will receive £400 in prize money which will make our tournament very
attractive to the best players. Both Tournaments are sponsored by The Alan
Hawkshaw Music Scholarship Foundation and we thank Alan once again for his
very generous support.
Unfortunately during the Tournament
members play will be restricted but we do hope you will take the opportunity
to support the Club and watch great tennis. The bar will be open from 18:00
each evening and refreshments are available throughout the day.
We look forward to seeing you. Jeanette Taylor,
Tournament Organiser.

Ben Davis played for
Herts Senior County Team
On Sunday 10th June 2007, club junior Ben Davis, who has just turned 15,
played for Hertfordshire Men v Cambridge University 1st team at Fenners on
the University's grass courts. Ben won a tough singles match 7-6 7-6 against
a much stronger and more experienced Cambridge Captain. The fixture was
drawn 6 matches each.
Ben recently returned from a 2 week clay court trip representing Great
Britain at European Tennis Association tournaments in Slovenia, accompanied
by the LTA's head of 16U boys Leon Smith. Leon coached Andy Murray from the
age of 12 to 17 and Ben hopes that with Leon's help he can follow in Andy's
footsteps.
