I enjoyed watching the finals on Memorial Day. I was a little disappointed in that a better setting wasn't created for the Boys and Girls 18s finals. The ATA used to put their matches on the stadium court with a chair umpire. The ATA got a little sloppy in this area. Also, I didn't see the media there nor saw an article in the major newspaper. The ATA must have not notified the media and lost an opportunity to promote the game of tennis!
