The Tennis Association of Trinidad and Tobago (TATT) will host their annual National Tennis Championships at the Country Club, Maraval, from July 15-24.
This year’s Americas Zone Group IV Davis Cup winners, Yohannsey Williams and Vaughn Wilson are expected to be the top seeded players participating in the men’s division of the 2011 Championships. The experienced Carlista Mohammed will also be a part of the tournament and will be among the top seeds in the women’s division.
The Championships were regularly hosted at the Eddie Taylor Public Courts, King George V Park, St Clair, but this year’s change of venue came after exorbitant rent and tournament fees from mayor of Port-of- Spain, Louis Lee Sing.
TATT’s president, Jermille Danclair revealed that the required amount for the renting of the courts for this tournament was excessive and this particularly caused the venue change.
Additionally, the TATT will remove the Veterans (Over-45) and mixed doubles events for the National Championships.
