On Sunday May 1, in the Pierre Lacaze multipurpose room and on the outdoor courts, the four finals of the internal tennis tournament were held, organized by the leaders of the ASCL and in particular by the two managers of the tennis section Peggy Lamazou-Betbeder and Christophe Combes.
80 players, from beginners to 15-4, had registered for this tournament, more than 30 participants compared to the previous tournament in 2019. This event had been interrupted due to the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. 104 meetings were programmed during the various confrontations.
Three finals took place in the multipurpose room due to threatening weather, the fourth on the outdoor courts.
