Happy New Year everyone. The first tournament of the year is coming up this week at the BallenIsles Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. This is also one of the sites for the ITF Seniors World Championships later this spring.

Here’s the link to the draws: http://tennislink.usta.com/Tournaments/TournamentHome/Tournament.aspx?T=139352

I’ll be blogging from here late this week, starting Wednesday or Thursday.

The other big tournament this month is in California, the Asics Category II, men and women and also Category I Mixed for the 50s and 60s. The link to that event can be found here: http://tennislink.usta.com/Tournaments/TournamentHome/Tournament.aspx?T=141952
