The 2025 Wimbledon in March (Wear Your Whites!) event at the St Petersburg Tennis Center was a success on many fronts. Thank you!

We had a great turnout, 60 people in all, including 4 talented teens from the SPTC Courier's Kids Program. Thank you to Sofia, Leo, Fabio, and Anastasia for not only playing, but having fun with us throughout the day.

It appeared everyone enjoyed themselves - playing in the clinics and round robin, watching the Pros entertain us playing with wood racquets, and the single point shootout which culminated in the crowning of the winners as King and Queen of the event - Britt Murphy and Kathie Kenyon.

We appreciate the efforts of all who helped make this a successful event.

A special thank you to Chris Zibailo, for his invaluable knowledge, tireless efforts to help us leverage the tech systems at SPTC, and coordinate with Jack Bailey, Steve Johnson, and the staff at SPTC.

Thank you to Steve Johnson with the prompt website and FB content updates, and thanks to all the front desk staff, the court grooming "crew", Managing Director Jack Bailey, SPTC teaching Pros Katie Koperski, Maria Francesa, plus Shikha Signh (Director of Racquet Club St Petersburg) and former SPTC teaching pro David Plotkin - who also arranged for Parkviewlive to provide live-streaming of the event at no charge. I know many who were unable to attend watched this event from afar.

Thanks also to Jay Sokolovsky, who graciously provided his time and photography skills to capture many moments of this event. Here are some photos of the event.....more will be available later.

Participants enjoyed a Wimbledon breakfast, cocktails and afternoon pot luck.
Thank you to the members who provided food and drink and their time to help make the social aspect of the event a success as well.

As soon as all the registrant fees and donations have been accounted for, we will update you with the amount that will be donated to SPTC Courier's Kids Program.

Thank you,
Lynn Stone and John Stone ... See MoreSee Less
