JACKSON — The 2020 annual Jackson Tennis Club Vintage Tennis Tournament held on July 25 was a great success, according to organizers and participants. The event paid tribute to the tennis in the Mount Washington Valley — a legacy highlighted by the Volvo International Tennis Tournament. Originally held at Mount Washington Hotel in 1973 before moving to Cranmore from 1975-1984, the event featured tennis legends such as Jimmy Connors, Rod Laver, Jose Luis Clerc and Ivan Lendl.
The mixed doubles tournament in Jackson featured outfits and rackets reminiscent of the tournaments from decades earlier. Players used wooden rackets for at least one game of each match and familiar tennis wear of past greats like Bjorn Borg and Chris Evert adorned players.
