Tennis in July canceled
For the first time in 40 years, The Rockdale Open will not be held. The cancellation of the tournament stems from the dwindling number of signees.
“We’ve been getting less and less interest for the past five years,” Rockdale resident Sparky Thomason said. “We decided this before the coronavirus thing. It’s just that another event is always happening during the tournament and not enough people sign up.”
Ken Cooke, who participated in many of the Rockdale Opens, said he was disappointed that tournament would not be played this year.
“It’s always a bummer,” Cooke said. “I can remember hundreds of people coming in town to attend the tournament. There’s just not too many tennis players in Rockdale anymore.”
The tournament would have taken place during the second or third week of July.
