The <strong>Surrey</strong> County Closed<br />
is for everyone!<br />
Our <strong>2014</strong> event was held<br />
at Sutton <strong>Tennis</strong> Academy,<br />
and it brought a change to<br />
the way the <strong>Surrey</strong> County<br />
Closed is run. We extended<br />
the tournament by two<br />
days and <strong>in</strong>vited lower<br />
rated players to compete <strong>in</strong><br />
a qualify<strong>in</strong>g draw. Our aim<br />
was to enable these players<br />
to compete aga<strong>in</strong>st others<br />
of a similar standard before<br />
the more experienced<br />
competitors came <strong>in</strong>to<br />
the draw. To some extent<br />
this was successful, but<br />
we are hop<strong>in</strong>g for more entries <strong>in</strong> 2015. Please help us<br />
by lett<strong>in</strong>g your friends know that the <strong>Surrey</strong> County<br />
Closed Competition is for everyone.<br />
In the event, we had nearly 400 entries overall<br />
and watched some very enjoyable tennis, runn<strong>in</strong>g<br />
consolation events at all age groups.<br />
A number of <strong>Surrey</strong> Councillors also came to<br />
support the event throughout the week and we<br />
were honoured to have John Phillips present<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
trophies on F<strong>in</strong>als Day. John is stand<strong>in</strong>g down after<br />
many years of dedicated and committed service to<br />
<strong>Surrey</strong> as Chairman of the Competitions Committee.<br />
Although it ra<strong>in</strong>ed for most of Monday we managed<br />
to keep pretty much up to schedule us<strong>in</strong>g all the<br />
<strong>in</strong>door courts as well as the outdoor and turn<strong>in</strong>g<br />
matches round quickly. Thanks go to the Tournament<br />
Referee, Tim Pearce, and the Tournament Director, for<br />
ensur<strong>in</strong>g a smooth and successful tournament for all.<br />
