Men’s Tennis Hosts Duke Bonk Invitational This Weekend
DURHAM – Members of the Duke men's tennis team will get their first taste of competition for the fall season when the program hosts its annual Duke James Bonk Invitational in Cary, N.C.
The event kicks off Friday and continues through Sunday at the Cary Tennis Park.
Seven Blue Devils are set to take part in the three-day tournament, named for Dr. James Bonk, a former Duke chemistry professor and assistant tennis coach who passed away in 2013. The event has typically been held annually since 2015 in honor of Dr. Bonk's impact on the Duke tennis program but was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
