It feels like ages since the last Open level event on the PPA Tour, but that is exactly what is being played now. The tournament starts Wednesday, November 19 and runs through Sunday, November 23.
The Beerman Family Tennis Center is hosting the event, which is a public court in the city of Lakeland, Florida. Lakeland is nearer to the west coast of Florida, between Orlando and Tampa, but still just a 3.5 hour drive for many of the PPA pros, who live in the greater Miami area.
Since this is an Open event, 1,000 PPA Points are on the line for the winners. This is a “hybrid” event, meaning it is a cross between a regular draw and a progressive draw. On Wednesday, singles are played through the quarterfinals. On Thursday, the same goes for mixed doubles, and then Friday is gender doubles. Saturday is Semifinal Saturday in all events, and then of course, there will be Championship Sunday.
