We would also like to thank the UBC Tennis Centre and their staff including, Courtney Davies and JJ Mahony, for their endless work in allowing us to host a great tournament. A big shout out to all the local restaurants that offered discount food to the players especially, Freshii and Pita Pit for providing free lunch to the staff and volunteers.
Thank you to all volunteers that helped run the tournament and make it a great week. A special thank you to Janet Jang and Brenda Chinn who ran the tournament desk everyday and ensured that the tournament went smoothly.
