Tucson, AZ, WPH Press, 7/21/23
The fourth summer of the WPH Icebreaker Series kicked off with the 2023 Icebreaker at Tucson’s Clark Park, featuring men’s pro small ball singles and doubles and women’s pro small ball singles in the twenty-second Icebreaker since the inaugural Icebreaker in the summer of 2020.
Players enjoyed beautiful weather for the event’s first hour but the Santa Ana winds quickly halted the event, as lightning and rain rolled into Clark Park, suspending play for the day. Players will be back on the court tomorrow morning at 7 am MST.
