Current Women’s World Champion Claire Fahey crossed the ‘Pond’, made her way to Tuxedo Park and dominated the competition at the 2024 Women’s US Open dropping only 1 game (to Tuxedo Junior Stars Calliope Yannuzzi and Hazel Christensen) in the entirety of the tournament.
Players from Australia, England, France and the United States participated in the tournament providing numerous entertaining matches for the spectators throughout the weekend.
Claire Fahey (The Oratory School) defeated JoSee Tan (Royal Melbourne Tennis Club) in the singles final. Fahey and Alex Brodie (Holyport Real Tennis Club) defeated Tan and Xanthe Ranger (The Tuxedo Club) in the doubles final.
There were some great matches in both the singles and doubles back draw tournaments!

Megan Hayes (The Tuxedo Club) and Claire Voegele (Aiken Tennis Club) claimed an 8-6 victory in the doubles back draw over Amy Gold (The Tuxedo Club) and Suzy Schwartz-Peffer (The Tennis & Racquet Club Boston).
