4 WELCOME The Mount Royal Tennis Club began preparations to host competitors from across Canada in November of It is our great pleasure to open our club to players for the Steve Stevens National Tennis Championships. We are proud of our long and glorious history of supporting national and international events. The Mount Royal has hosted the largest number of Davis Cup ties in the history of tennis, held a competition between England s Wightman Cup and local players in 1923, and, over the decades, played friendlies between the Wimbledon Tennis Club and select senior players from our club. Once again this year, in cooperation with Tennis Canada, and for the fourth time since 2003, the MRTC will welcome participants to the National Championships, the most important competition of the year for Canadian elite senior tennis players. As you can imagine, an event of this size would not be possible without the involvement of other local tennis clubs. Our thanks to Côte St-Luc (Ryan Nemeroff), Hampstead (Irene Lehaie), Hillside (Charles Porteous), Monkland (Karen Stearns), and Woodland (Jean Carrière). A grateful thank you to our MRTC volunteers and staff who work so hard to welcome players from across Canada. Finally and most importantly, a special thank you to our MRTC members who graciously give up their courts for a week in a short summer season in Montreal. In addition to testing your skills against other players from across Canada, we hope you will have the time over the course of the week to renew friendships and experience all that Montreal has to offer from the culture to the food scene. Enjoy the ambiance of our club and as we say in Quebec bon tennis. Fern Grace Whitehouse President Mount Royal Tennis Club 4
