“I am thankful that all matches were completed, and that the athletes were very appreciative of the world class facility that they had the opportunity to showcase their talents at.” “Excellence through school sport!”.

Day 2 of the OFSAA Tennis championships saw a mixed bag of weather conditions on Tuesday. The wet morning conditions forced play to be moved indoors for most of the day. Later in the day the conditions became windy but dry.  This allowed play to resume outside at the Rexall Centre.  Even with the delays 197 more matches were completed in the 10 divisions by the end of the day. Many competitive matches were played as players played to advance to the medal matches on Wednesday.

The gold and bronze medal matches will be played in all divisions on Wednesday. Play will start at 9 am with the gold and bronze matches being played at 11 am and 12 pm in all 10 divisions. All final day matches will be played at the Rexall Centre.
