Sea Colony announces 2013 tournament schedule

Sea Colony Tennis Center in Bethany Beach has announced its schedule of 2013 tennis tournaments. From April to December, the award-winning facility will host a variety of competitive events for players of all ages and skill levels.

Tournament season gets under way April 20-21 with the Sea Colony Junior Challenge, the first of eight USTA junior tournaments for both boys and girls planned for 2013. That will be followed by the Spring Junior Open May 18-19; three Summer Junior Open events June 29-30, July 20-21 and Aug. 17-18; the Fall Junior Open Sept. 14-15; the Junior Autumn Classic Oct. 12-13; and the Winter Junior Open Dec. 13-15.

Two adult open challenge events are set for spring and fall, taking place on April 27-28 and Sept. 21-22, respectively.

The centerpiece of the tournament schedule is the 3rd Annual ResortQuest Pro Women’s Open at Sea Colony, a USTA Pro Circuit event, taking place June 9-16 that will feature an international field of up-and-coming players competing for world ranking points and a share of $10,000 in prize money.

This year’s event will feature eight days of tournament play, plus a clinic/exhibition featuring former French Open doubles champion Luke Jensen, a Junior Play Day and USTA Member Appreciation Day.

The Pro Women’s Open at Sea Colony will be prefaced by the Delaware Women’s Open Championships June 1-2, where the winner of that USTA event will earn a spot in the Pro Women’s Open tourney.
