Day 5 - ITF J100, Selection Series #2, and NTRP

Day 5 saw more blue skies and hot weather. Overall, it was about as smooth a day as can be had when running a tournament of this size!

In action, in the morning, the Selection Series #2 U12 / U14 juniors played matches, while the ITF J100 players ran later into the day, with their Main Draw matches ending around 7:00 pm.

NTRP got underway at 5:00 pm till dusk. Players are enjoying the new monitor providing next-match-up information. Also in use, the players’ lounge, providing a welcome respite from the heat, and a great place to hang out between matches.

In case you missed it, CTV News has been down to the park to interview several sponsors, players, staff, and volunteers. Check out the interview with Tournament Director, Iverson Guan here, player Alice Chen here, and NBSPO sponsors, Haleh Alexander (National Bank) & Jeff Baumann (Ankora Retaining Wall) here.
