There was no shortage of close matches during the opening day of the annual Hub City Open Tennis Tournament at the Northern State Courts on Saturday.

After a two-hour rain delay to start the day, action heated up on the courts with six matches decided on super-tiebreakers. There were also five tiebreakers on the day, including two in one match.
