50th city tennis tournament heats up

The weekend rains held off long enough for the start of the golden anniversary of the City of Laguna Beach Tennis Tournament, which got underway Saturday and Sunday at Alta Laguna Park.

Rain didn’t begin to fall until the final match played Sunday, tournament director Julie Heussenstamm said.

The 50th tournament concludes this weekend with action on both Saturday and Sunday at Alta Laguna Park.
