*****At Al Kruse Tennis Center, we are the ONLY tennis facility in the Corpus Christi area that will allow our players to play a full third set in leiu of a 10-point tiebreaker. This applies for ANY match played on our tennis courts. Both parties must agree and the ONLY ones allowed to make the decision are the players involved in the match. Match scores are converted using our formula and reported accordingly on official match score cards.*****
