A Richmond area team won the World Team Tennis National Qualifier at the Racquet Club of the South in Atlanta, GA on August 25-27 and is now making plans to travel to Indian Wells, California for the national tournament November 2-5.  

"This is truly a team representative of Richmond Tennis," said team member Kerri Rhodes. "We all play out of different clubs and met and became friends through tennis." 

The team chose six members to play for the title in Atlanta.  They returned with an outstanding record, dropping only one women's singles match and one men's doubles match during the entire tournament.  The format features co-ed teams competing in six sets - men's and women's doubles, men's and women's singles and mixed doubles, with no-ad scoring, substitution and coaching.
