TOPS’L Beach & Racquet Resort in Destin, Florida, a property managed by its ResortQuest brand, will host the $10,000 USPTA TOPS’L Clay Court Championships, May 14 through 16, 2016.

"We’re thrilled to be hosting this annual event for the first time here at TOPS’L,” said Joe D’Aleo, director of tennis at TOPS’L Beach & Racquet Resort. “Participants are invited to come early to enjoy our 12 Rubico clay tennis courts and practice with our team of USPTA-certified tennis professionals, or stay an extra few days with their families to enjoy the resort’s sugar-white sand beaches and countless amenities.”

The Clay Court Championships is one of four tournaments that comprise the USPTA Surface Championship Series. In addition to Men’s, Women’s and Mixed Singles and Doubles matches, weekend events will include a professional development seminar, vendor showcase, and player luncheon.

Participation is limited to USPTA-certified professionals in good standing. Players of the event could be invited to participate in the USPTA Masters Invitational, which takes place in September 2016. A minimum of $10,000 in prize money will be awarded during the Clay Court Championships based upon the number of entries in each event.
