Hi Tennis Fans,

      It's tennis time.  The season has had a fantastic start, but along with it comes very hot temperatures.  Please stay hydrated and bring a cold compress to put around your neck between sets. Also, bring Gatorade or propel.  If you can't, the KHTC Committee will be selling them.

       This year the Kenny Huffman Classic is having Butler's Bar-B-Que at the tournament.  The KHTC will be selling drinks and healthy snacks.  The whole community could come up to Bob Amous and enjoy a good meal and great competition.

       The dates of the tournament are July 25-27.  The deadline for entrees is July 22.  We will have an opening ceremony on July 25 where we will announce the first three inductees into the KHTC Hall of Fame.  The first three inductees are Sue Huffman Stanley, Victor Allara, and Francis Coleman.  We will also be having a fast serve competition for men and women.

       I have been watching Wimbledon this week.  Giovanni Perricard served a ball 153 mph.  The fastest serve in Wimbledon history.  He lost the match to Tayler Fritz in 5 sets.  It would be exciting to see a couple of players serve over 100 mph in the Kenny Huffman Classic.

       On Friday, July 25, around 5 pm, we will also have a wood racket competition; not vintage, just wood rackets.  This is always exciting to watch.  Tennis rackets have advanced so much over the years.  It is nice to watch and play with rackets from the 1960's & 1970's.

       We have about two weeks and five days left before the start of the KHTC tournament on July 25.  We only have about two weeks before the dead line to register on July 22.  So, try to register early to make sure you can get in the divisions you want to play in.  We are hoping for around 70 players to participate this year.

       In the meantime, tune into Wimbledon.  There are a bunch of exciting matches going on.

       
      Until next month I am leaving you with a few quotes to see if they apply to you; "People wrote me off, but I believed in myself" by Pete Sampras.  "The only limits in life are the ones you set for yourself'" by Roger Federer. "Competing or just for fun, whatever, simply enjoy and try your best" by Rafael Nadal.
