The 2013 City Tournament

 

Congratulations to all of the winners of the 2013 City Tournament. This year, the 94th year of this great tennis tradition, was hosted once again by the Ann Arbor Area Community Tennis Association in conjunction with the Ann Arbor Recreation and Education Department. There were 517 Adults in 26 events and 89 Juniors in 11 events participating. The support of the players, sponsors, and volunteers makes it possible for AAACTA to carry out its mission of serving the tennis community throughout the year.

     

Thank you, sponsors, volunteers, players, and good sports!
