The 15th annual Peachtree Invitational in Atlanta, GA, hosted 112 players from a record 14 states, including Idaho for the first time! Beautiful Southern weather across the three-day weekend made for a great, fun tournament with Cherokee Town Club playing host to the Friday night women's finals and party. Chicago’s Nancy Gaspadarek and Charlotte’s Kristen Davin won, defeating Karen Lenhart and Melissa King of Pittsburgh, 6-1, 6-2.

On the men’s side, reigning champions Eric Miller and Claes Persson, also from Charlotte, defeated Edwin Lewis and Scott Triplett of Louisville, Kentucky, in a hard-fought match, 6-3, 6-4. Equally fun at the Peachtree every year is the Saturday night players, sponsors, and helpers party at a beautiful home in Buckhead, with a public paddle fundraising raffle, great food and drink, and games galore going well into the night. If you’ve not been, put the Peachtree Invitational on your Paddle Bucket List!

The APTA thanks Tournament Directors Peter Lauer, Brian Dickson, and Freddy Goldenberg for running an excellent event and thanks all the host clubs and volunteers for their assistance.
