The Coral Beach and Tennis Club will host the Bermuda National Clay Court Championships at its eight clay courts from October 23 to 29.

The tournament, sponsored by Moët & Chandon, has been sanctioned by the Bermuda Lawn Tennis Association (BLTA) and recognised by the United States Tennis Association, making players eligible for tournament points.

This year’s tournament features a new format, with many top players from Bermuda and around the world taking part.

It will feature a “Performance” category for professionals and top amateurs, and an “Open” category for strong club players.

In addition, the tournament’s popular age group categories are also featured, along with the Open Mixed Doubles and Century Mixed Doubles event as well.

A full slate of dinners and cocktail parties are planned, culminating with the Gala Awards Dinner on Saturday, October 29 at the Coral Dining Room.

The entry deadline is Friday, October 14. For more details, contact Neal Towlson on 441 239 7216 or via e-mail at tennis@coralbeach.bm.
