The 2nd Annual IPFW Open Presented by Turnstone went very well. We had more participates and a larger purse ($1,500) then last year along with perfect tennis weather. Special thanks goes out to Eric Burns (IPFW Tennis Coach) along with Tina Acosta and Andrew Achenbach from Turnstone who all did a great job running this tournament from start to finish. Also can’t thank enough Dr. Rudy & Rhonda Kachmann for their continue support with wheelchair tennis in Fort Wayne, IN.
