The NTRP National Championships is a new national adult tournament that leverages the NTRP rating system as a means to create level-based individual competition at the 18 & Over and 50 & Over age groups. In all, 650 tennis players from across the United States are participating in this first-time event and the USTA Northern players were selected based on the 2017 Adult Tournament NTRP Rankings within the Section.


Each participant plays at least six matches over the course of three days using the Fast Four scoring format in which sets are played to four.  


The 50 & Over competition will be held April 20-22 at the Academia Sanchez Casal in Naples, Fla. USTA Northern has six players competing in that event including:

                3.5M Singles: Michael Streater (Sunfish Lake, Minn.)
