Owensboro to Host the USTA Adult Combo League State Championships

 

Tennis courts in Owensboro will be full of action October 20-22 as the city hosts 415 adult tennis players from around the state to compete in the United States Tennis Association (USTA) Adult Combo League State Championships. The Combo League format is comprised of two players of different levels playing against an opposing doubles team of the same two levels. Three doubles courts equal a team match. Teams consist of 8-10 players.

Owensboro was awarded the bid to host the event earlier this year. The local organizing committee consists of the Owensboro-Daviess County Tennis Association, the City of Owensboro Parks & Recreation Department, and the Owensboro-Daviess County Visitors Bureau.

Teams across the Commonwealth will participate in the three-day event. Owensboro has six teams entered. The direct economic impact of the tournament is estimated at $344,871. Matches begin Friday morning at 8:00 a.m. and continue all day Friday, Saturday, and conclude on Sunday morning. Matches are scheduled at the Owensboro Tennis Complex and the Moreland Park Tennis Center. Warm-ups and team practices will be at Kentucky Wesleyan courts.
