Championship Tennis on Lampson, Waterfront Car Shows, and Sunday Notes

Seal Beach, CA · August 2, 2026

The ocean breeze carries a cool morning fog today, making it a great morning to grab coffee before heading out. Plenty is happening across town before the week begins.

The Lead

Final championship matches wrap up today at the Seal Beach Tennis Center as the USTA Southern California Adult 18 & Over Sectional Championships come to a close. Over the past three days, top 4.0 and 5.0 adult teams from across the region have converged on the Lampson Avenue courts, competing in single-elimination draws for regional titles.

Co-hosted alongside neighboring courts in Lakewood and Huntington Beach, the tournament brought hundreds of players and spectators through the public facility's gates. Winners in today's final rounds secure automatic bids to the USTA National Championships later this year. Once the trophy presentations end this afternoon, staff will begin preparing the courts to host the 3.0 and 4.5 division sectionals next weekend.
