Hot on the heels of the top-tier tennis played at the Canada Summer Games the Niagara-on-the-Lake Tennis Club held its annual men’s and women’s tournament.

“I think it is safe to say that our club has never seen such a spectacular month of tennis,” said Hugh Dow, president of the club.

“With the new courts recently resurfaced the players seemed inspired with three of the final matches going down to the wire with third-set tie-breakers determining the winners.”

Many members turned out to cheer on the players and then stayed to enjoy a catered dinner under the club’s pavilion.

And the winners were:
