CHAPEL HILL – Championships in singles and doubles in four different classifications will be up for grabs this weekend as the North Carolina High School Athletic Association holds its annual men’s tennis tournament championships at three different sites.
Semifinalists in both singles and doubles at the regional level qualify for the state championships.
The 4-A championships are scheduled for the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, while the 3-A event will be held at the Burlington Parks and Recreation Tennis Center. Both the 1-A and the 2-A championships are set for the Cary Tennis Center.
Action will get underway on Friday morning with the opening round of play at 10 a.m. in all classifications. Two rounds will be played on Friday, with the semifinals Saturday morning and the championship matches on Saturday afternoon. Since the field is smaller for the 1-A tournament, the only Saturday match will be the championship Saturday morning at 9 a.m.
More tennis finals are scheduled for next week, as all four classes of the men’s dual team tennis championships will be May 26 at the Burlington Tennis Center.
The Wake County/Raleigh events are sponsored by the Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau and Sports Consortium. Wendy’s and Carolina Ford Dealers arepresenting sponsors of the NCHSAA Sports Program.
