The Medicine Hat Tennis Club will welcome some of Alberta’s top young tennis players this weekend for the Tennis Alberta Junior U12 and U16 3.5 Star Tournament.

The event runs Friday, July 31 through Sunday, August 2, with about 50 athletes expected to compete from across the province, including players from Calgary, Red Deer and Edmonton.

Four local athletes will represent the Medicine Hat Tennis Club, including Rowan Ferris and Nirvi Singh in the U12 division, along with Thomas and Mike Fentabil competing in U16.

The tournament is the only 3.5 Star junior event being held in Alberta this season, bringing together a highly competitive field.

Organizers say the event provides an opportunity for young players to develop and compete against some of the province’s best.

Previous winners have gone on to compete nationally.

The public is invited to watch the future stars of tennis at the Medicine Hat Tennis Club, located at 1711 21 Street S.E. Admission is free.

Matches start Friday and Saturday morning at eight, with Sunday’s start time to be determined.
