Father/Daughter Grass Court Championship


This year's Father/Daugher Grass Court Championship was a challenge for the grounds crew. Because of the timing of various rain storms both grass and clay courts needed to be prepared for tournament play each morning. (Monday's rain shortened clay matches were finished on clay on Tuesday. The players then moved to grass.)



Early mornings and flexiblilty by the crew were essential. Today, the crew shifted back and forth between the two surfaces so that the clay was ready for the championship at 9:00 am and the grass at 10:30 am.
