Greetings!
Breaking News...
As of September 1, 2013 - Camden Riviere is now the #1 Ranked Player in the World! Congratulations!!!
Wow - it's hard to top that news, other than to say that the 2013/14 season is getting off to a great start. The schedule is packed with events for all levels and ages, so be sure to check it out and plan your season.
The pros kick off the season with the first National League Match on September 7. Some of our pros will be travelling to Paris later in the month for the French Open Singles and the 2013 World Doubles Championship. Will Rob Fahey and Steve Virgona win their sixth World Doubles title or will there be a new winning team? The draws for both events will be done on on September 3, so check our website to keep up with the latest events on the world circuit.
The amateur season begins in late September with the Jimmy Knott - a singles tournament. And then it's non-stop action for the next few months...so get ready!
Enjoy the Labor Day Weekend.
Until next month...
Sincerely,

RIVIERE CLAIMS #1 SPOT
As of September 1st, Camden Riviere will become the Number 1 Ranked Player in the World! Since the world ranking system was created in 1991, no American has been ranked number one in the world. Rob Fahey has been number one for the last twenty years but in late August 2013 Camden Riviere passed Fahey.
Riviere has had a spectacular year, since coming off an injury that sidelined him for most of the 2011/12 season. His tournament wins include: 2012 & 2013 U.S. Pro Singles, 2013 U.S. Open, 2012 National Open, 2012 IRTPA Championships and the 2012 French Open.
Congratulations to Camden!
