“Big thanks to all those who participated,” exclaimed tournament director Abraham Montijo. “It really was a great time. Much respect to those that played both singles and doubles! Players half their age would not be able to get up in the morning, and we had some guys play six matches in a span of twenty-four hours! True Champions. Looking forward to seeing everyone compete again next year.”

Congratulations to all of the players. Thank you to the Fred Lewis Foundation’s Abraham Montijo for hosting and running the event.
