1987 WOMEN’S TEAM TENNIS TOURNEY IN WV Foliyburn chosen to host international tennis event NEXT SUMMER, West Van’s Hollyburn Country Club will host one of the biggest tennis events ever staged in B.C. The club has recently been selected by the International Tea- nis Federation (ITF) as the site of the 1987 Women’s Team Tennis Championship Federation Cup by NEC (Nippon Electronics Corp). An estimated 41 countries will be sending teams to the champion- ship, scheduled to run *9om July 26 10 Aug. 2, 1987. The event, which will feature the best 200 women tennis players in the world, has never been held in Canada before. Organizers are hoping that players such as Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert Lloyd and Carling Bassett will compete in the championship. A total of $350,000 in prize money has been put up by NEC, the tournament's sponsor. “We are delighted,"’ tournament chairman Bob Moffatt said Friday. “It’s (Hollyburn) a breathtaking facility. The whole thing is a tremendous opportunity for the people of the North Shore.” Moffatt said he began ap- proaching London ITF officials in January with proposals to hold the 1987 women’s team championship in B.C. ITF representatives subsequently toured the MHollyburn site in March, and, according to Moffatt, “‘were very impressed.”’ The 25-year-old Hollyburn club has 16 tennis courts. Club general manager Cesare Gianna _ said OUR FASHION FIGURES Bs TIMOTHY RENSHAW News Reporter Hollyburn was honored to be selected. “We will do our best to have a good event.” Prague, Czechoslovakia was the host city for the 1986 champion- ship. Moffatt said originally two sites were being considered in the Van- couver area. The first site propos- ed was at the University of British Columbia, where Moffatt said a completely new facility was plann- ed. In addition to Vancouver, Atlanta, Georgia was also bidding for the right to host the champion- ships. Though he declined to give fig- ures, Moffatt said cost to stage the tournament would be substantial. A centre court bow! with a seating capacity of becween 6,000 and 7,000 people will be con- structed at the Hollyburn club for the tournament. Moffatt said tournament ticket prices will range from $6 to $24, increasing in price as play prog- resses toward the finals. Each country participating will field a four-member team. Games will consist of two singles matches and one doubles match with the best out of three winning. “Really, it’s one of the mest ex- P ersonality Shopping —- a unique way to enjoy the fine fashions of Park Royal Shopping Centre.
