Hi Tennis Fans,

      The Kenny Huffman tennis classic is only 21 days away. You need to start registering now. You can register on the K HTC website at kenhuffclas.org; And mail in a paper form but it needs to be in by July 21; or you can register on the ATS Facebook page. All registration forms have to be in by July 22nd. We are looking forward to a great time and strong competition.

 

       The ATS tournaments are underway. The Grayson and Compton tournaments have already been completed, and scores should be posted this week. To have your points count toward an award at the end of the 2026 season, be sure to play in at least half of the tournaments. The Wood Racket mini tournament does not count toward points.

       Well, we wanted warm weather and look at what we got. Georgia is having temperatures in the 100s. Kentucky’s temperatures are in the 90’s. I hope it cools off by July 24, the start of the KHTC. One thing is for sure. You need to stay hydrated with water, Gatorade, or Powerade. Also bring something cold you can put on your neck when you switch sides between games.

       I watched the French Open. and now I am watching Wimbledon. It is amazing what the players put their bodies through to be champions. There have been so many injuries this year that the players are asking for a shorter season. They barely have one month to recuperate and work on improving their game. I enjoyed watching the French Open, but it was missing Carlos Alcaraz. Even the players missed his presence. He is also absent from Wimbledon due to a wrist injury; He is one of my favorite players. I hope Tayor Fritz or Tiafoe make it to the finals.

 

       If you have any trouble registering, please contact Freddie Napier, Jim Vanover, Sue Huffman Stanley or Víctor Allera. We will make sure you get registered. We are expecting to have a great tournament with about 70 players.

       I will leave you with a few quotes from Chris Evert.” If you are a Champion, you have to have it in your heart.” And “You have to take the initiative to play your game. In a decisive set, confidence is the difference.”
