Tap Info for January 20, 2021

  

I want to thank everyone for their patience during once again very trying times as we face the cautions for our safety during this covid pandemic.  As you now know Country Day went remote a week ago and has continued to do so.  I have been in contact with administration at CCDS and they have granted us permission to resume use of the courts on this Friday January 22, 2021. In order to make up for loss time Tap Clinic will be offered on Friday from 3:30 - 6pm.

Then we will be back on Saturday January 23, from 10am - 12pm.  We will also hold clinic on Sunday January 24, from 12:30 - 2:00pm.  I hope that these offering of clinic times will be good for all to attend.  On Monday January the 25th we will resume normal weekly practice time of 3:30 - 6pm Monday thru Friday, Saturday clinics will be from 10am - 12pm.  Your understanding during these times is highly appreciated by us at Tap as tennis events are being cancelled across the world.  

Recently Tap Players competed in the Winter Southerns with outstanding results.  Sam Farnham and Nathan Jackson in Rome Ga. formed an outstanding doubles team grinding their way to the round of 16 as they defeated the seeded team of Sloan and Times (seeded 9.). In Mobile Ala. Benjamin Farnham showed true grit as he fought hard defeating players ranked above him while suffering through a tough shoulder injury, icing, and using advil as he continued to battle until almost the last day.  These wonderful 5 days of competition were highlighted by the outstanding play throughout the tournament of Noah McDonald.  Noah came out smoking, losing only one match along the way.  Noah never lost more than 7 games in any match and actually won most matches with the loss of only 3 games on average.  Noah finished in the top 8 as a first year 16. What a great start for 2021.
