BEDFORD - Jeff Domm with Tennis Canada was also on hand for the Oct. 30 grand opening of the Rocky Lake Dome rink. He announced to an enthusiastic crowd that Tennis Canada plans to open a privately-operated world class tennis facility at the Rocky Lake site in 2010.

The facility has strong backing from Tennis Canada and is expected to be a showcase training facility for youth. He also touched on a court design geared towards seniors, an increasingly large segment of the population.

The facility is expected to help promote growth of the sport throughout HRM.

"Even though it's not yet built, it's being considered a model by Tennis Canada for other sites in Canada," Domm said.

Once built, the facility will be capable of hosting high level international events like the Davis Cup and ATP Challenger -Tour.
