Tucson-hosted USTA Winter National featured only handful of locals
The USTA National Winter Championships for girls and boys 14 and 12 were played over seven days at the Reffkin Tennis Center last week. Of the 512 players, only a handful of Tucsonans qualified; imagine the economic impact of 500 out-of-town tennis players and their parents for a week. Tucsonans Gwen Gavino and Emily Flowers reached the round of 32 in the girls 12-U doubles, and Tucsonan Harsh Parikh was in the round of 64 doubles for boys 14-U.
