L5: Dominant Duo Challenger Recap


USTA Northern New Mexico hosted their first Junior Team L5 tournament in May at the Jerry Cline Recreation and Tennis Center. The Dominant Duo Challenger comprised of teams of two, which they played doubles and singles per team match. We had 62 players and some traveled in from as far as Kentucky! The weather cooperated for the most part. Unfortunately, we got the New Mexico spring winds on Sunday afternoon. The level of competition was fierce and the sportsmanship was superb. Thank you to those who participated. We look forward to hosting again next year!
