Summer Camp

This year summer camp was directed by Cheryl Edwards, Margaret Wellford, Reece Paul, Blair O'Neal, Jonathan Edwards & Gretchen Smith . They did another outstanding job entertaining, interacting, and teaching the children. At the conclusion of each session, the campers participated in an award ceremony. We were amazed at the talent demonstrated by our "Racquet Club Campers!" Thank you for sending your children to us for the summer. We look forward to seeing the campers in 2008!

Swim Team


I am so proud of our swimmers that were so committed to the 2007 swim team. They swam hard at each weekly meet and demonstrated great sportsmanship.

There are never words to express my sincere gratitude to the dedicated parents that commit their time, energy, and love to the swim team.

Thank you for your dedication to the swim program, The Racquet Club, and to the children. They are the true WINNERS!
Thank you!

Dear Members,

Just a couple of years ago, tennis fans were accustomed to rarely seeing any matches on television during the summer months. In fact, there were only 20 hours of televised matches during the entire summer. Thanks in large part to the U.S. Open Series, we now enjoy 200 hours of tennis. Research shows more people are watching tennis than ever before. I hope you have taken advantage of watching all the exciting tournament broadcasts this summer. If you are not currently subscribing to The Tennis Channel, please seriously consider doing so because they are not only covering the French Open, but in 2008 they will be broadcasting the Australian Open and Wimbledon as well. Call Comcast at 1-800-266-2278 and speak to a customer service representative.

It has been fun to watch Novak Djokovic play his heart out and most recently to witness him upset Federer to win the Rogers Cup. Djokovic also became the first player to beat the world's top three players in the same tournament (Roddick, Nadal and Federer) since Boris Becker defeated Stich, Sampras and Ivanisevic in 1994. Djokovic has definitely established himself as a U.S. Open contender.

Also, this is a quick reminder to be on the lookout for The Tournament's television spot that will air during the U.S. Open!

Vacation is over and the kids are back in school. It's never too early to talk to me about tickets for next year's Regions Morgan Keegan Championships and the Cellular South Cup. Remember - the dates are one week later - February 22 through March 2. The Tournament's greatest asset is you - the fans. Help me spread the word of our great event by telling your friends. Call me at 765-4484, or email me at carolyn.hicks@racquetclubofmemphis.com.

There are many exciting things happening behind the scenes in men's and women's tennis. Stand by for an announcement ...
