The Kildonan Junior Open (May 11-14) ended up being the largest sanctioned tournament in Tennis Manitoba history with 146 players — from Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and B.C. — and 313 matches!
With so many players/matches, four different venues were needed. A special thanks to George Kyler at Sargent Park Tennis Garden and Nancy Chappell-Pollack and her team at Taylor Tennis Centre for being a massive help with the tournament. Of course, the Kildonan Tennis Club was also fantastic, along with Tennis MB Hub @ Deer Lodge. Tournament Director Nash Bockstael and his staff had their hands full but did a wonderful job organizing the event. And last but definitely not least, a shout out to our officials for all their hard work. Thank you to everyone involved who helped us make history!
