The South Cowichan Lawn Tennis Club welcomed players and fans to its annual Grass Court Classic tournament last weekend.
More than 120 players were registered for the event at the historic club.
There were some rain delays during this year's event, according to tournament director Karen Clarke.
"We actually had showers Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Everybody was very patient about it, though. We had to end up cancelling the consolation events but we got all the main draws - singles and doubles events - finished on Monday and that was a glorious day, so that helped," she said.
The consolation events are more of a courtesy than anything else, she said.
"Some players have only one match in an event they lose and we try to have a second match on the grass but they understand the consolation match isn't counted towards ranking points and if time gets tight we have to let those go."
Titles were handed out in 21 different brackets at the tournament.
