54th Wachovia Palmetto Championships
in Belton
June 5 - 10, 2010
The 54th Wachovia Palmetto Championships were played in Belton and Anderson June 5 through 10. 415 players from across South Carolina entered the tournament and championships were determined for both boys and girls in 5 age divisions.
The tournament was blessed by temperatures in the mid-80's, and only one afternoon thunderstorm delayed play (on Wednesday, June 9). Draws in the 12's, 14's, 16's and 18's were expanded to 64 players this year, and qualifying rounds and the Belton Classic were eliminated. The 10's draws were limited to 32 players. Most players played two matches on Sunday, thus shortening the tournament by one day.
