Okay, we are in the tail end of the 2011/2012 season and just finished up the state and regional championships and heading into the finale, the Nationals. This tournament will be held in Fullerton, CA Memorial Day weekend and culminates both the professional and amateur seasons. What an event it will be with the portable glass court show casing the pros outside on top of the Meridian’s Club parking garage. If you haven’t been there it is an event you do not want to miss with both the men and women pros there and over 500 amateurs playing in singles and doubles events….it is also the US Team Qualifying event.
