Liverpool International Tennis Tournament 2021 - Part 2

THIS is Part 2 of our coverage of the fantastic Liverpool International Tennis Tournament, that was held within the Liverpool Cricket Club, over 19 August to 20 August 2021. We would love to know what you thought of this event. In a statement sent out this week, the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament said:- "​​​​​​​Travel restrictions did have an impact on this year's tournament, but wow...! What a great couple of days we had last week at the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament. It took a lot of work from a lot of amazing people to pull the event together but we are so glad we did. General admission tickets were a sell out and a fun time was had by all in corporate hospitality. We are hopeful Covid19 will not be a problem next year and we will be able to have a full international line up once again. But what we lacked in International players, we made up for with the talented British tennis players, who stole the show! Now we can't wait to 2022 and our 20th event. We also had the 1st mixed doubles this year, with a special Lancashire V Cheshire match..."
