  • Singles and Doubles World Challenges on tap for 2010-2011 Season!

              Rackets two governing bodies, The Tennis and Rackets Association and The North American Rackets Association, overwhelmingly approved challenges for the singles World Championship and the doubles World Championship from Alex Titchener-Barrett (ATB) and ATB and Tim Cockcroft, respectively. The format will be two best of sevens with a leg in both North America and in the UK. The current Singles World Champion is James Stout (professional, NYR&T) and the current Doubles World Champion team is comprised of Harry Foster and Mark Hue-Williams (Queen’s Club, London).

                By virtue of a stellar record over the past two seasons, ATB rightfully earned his challenge in the singles Challenge by being the current British Open Singles Champion (defeated Stout 4-3 in finals), 2009 US Open Champion (defeated Stout 3-2), UK Invitation Champion 2008, UK Amateur Champion 2008 and 2009, and Canadian Amateur Champion 2010.

                On the doubles side of things, ATB and partner Tim Cockcroft will have a crack at the Doubles World Championship due to back to back wins at the 2009 and 2010 British Open Doubles Championships.

                The exact dates and venues have yet to be determined so please check back here for further information.

  • Announcement:

    Murray Sales
    12-15 March 2009
     
    Due to the "Second Invasion" of the Brits (not the Beatles) The Murray Sales Tournament (+40 singles and doubles) will now be held at The Racquet Club of Chicago beginning Thursday evening 12 March 2009 through 15 March 2009 in conjunction with the Western Open and the Kendrick Cup (novice).  This change of venue was necessitated by the very large draw of UK players that will be coming to Detroit and Chicago.  The Detroit Racquet Club Board along with NARA felt that the two courts at Chicago could better handle the Murray Sales.  Please contact Mr. John Cashman at rccpros@aol.com or 312-642-1431 for more information.
