Fourth Annual Mercedes-Benz Dealer Championships This Saturday 

Doubles first starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center

We are very excited to announce that the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men’s and women’s tennis programs will host the Mercedes-Benz Dealer Championships on Saturday at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. Doubles will start at 9 a.m. and in case of rain the event will move to the indoor courts at the HEB Tennis Center at 1520 Shely St. at 9:30 a.m.

We are very excited and looking forward to this event. The Mercedes-Benz has been an extremely high-level event with eight top men and eight top women pairing with Islanders players in doubles to win an all-paid expense trip to Hawaii.

If you are interested in being one of the contestants please contact Steve Moore at 361-425-1546 or Gerry Maingot at the Corpus Christi Country Club (361-991-7561).

The event will offer men's and women's doubles, which will be divided into flights by National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP) levels.  Each participating team is guaranteed three matches along with lunch during the event, and the entry fee is a $50.00 donation to the Islanders Tennis teams. Each player will also receive a gift donated by Mercedes-Benz.

Along with the men's and women's doubles flights, there will be an "Islander – Amateur" flight. In this division local players will play with an Islanders tennis player. This entry fee is a minimum donation of $200.00 to the Islanders Tennis Team. The winners of the "Islander – Amateur" flight will advance to the Western Sectional Championships which will be held in Oahu, Hawaii, compliments of Mercedes-Benz.

Admission is free for spectators at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.

We are very grateful to Mr. Ed Hicks and Mercedes-Benz and the great Corpus Christi community who has supported this.

Thank you for your continued support of Islanders Tennis!
