I thought Club Casablanca was on Bonempak? What's the name of the club on Bonempak then - now I'm getting confused :?
ERRATA Thanks, Matkirk, for catching that (I had inadvertently written "hotel zone" as the location of Club Casablanca- as Matkirk pointed out- and, he is correct about it's location). It's said to be on Bonampak, at SM10, M2, L3. Matkirk, can you give us some easy to locate points of reference, such as, "It's across from...," etc., as I have never been there and don't have any to offer.

TICKET PRICES/AVAILABILITY Hey, TraceyUK, I wonder if you could tell us something about ticket prices and availability- for non-members of Club Casablanca- for this event. And, by the way, how'd your son's coach do? Did he make it through?
My sons coach lost in the "nd round. Local interest is still present though. The head of Tennis at Casablanca - Marco Pacheco is due to play in the doubles today with Lapentti.The atmosphere should be great. First matches start at 11am today (wednesday). For prices call Casablanca 802 10 48. Tracey
