Hello Tennis4All!

We are thrilled to share that the USTA has extended an amazing invitation to Tennis4All: to be featured as part of the US Open PRIDE celebration on Thursday, August 29th! As part of this experience, 24 Tennis4All players are invited to be on-court at Arthur Ashe Stadium ahead of the primetime evening match. Details of the experience are below:

 

When: Thursday, August 29th, US Open PRIDE Day

Where: The US Open in New York, New York

What: An on-court experience and celebration of US OPEN PRIDE prior to the 7pm evening match at Arthur Ashe Stadium

Who: 24 Tennis4All tennis players are invited on-court, plus each player may bring a guest (all must be ON SITE by 4pm)

The perks: 24 Tennis4All players will hit on Ashe Stadium prior to the 7pm match, as well as be featured on social media and in US Open comms. Additionally, all players and guests will receive a US Open Wristband for the entire day, the equivalent of a Grounds Pass Ticket, so you’re encouraged to show up early and enjoy a full day at the Open! There will be a number of PRIDE activities on the grounds throughout the day to enjoy 🙂

 

If you would like to participate in this experience, please indicate your interest by completing this Google Form. Spots will be first-come, first-serve, and we will confirm if you received a spot as soon as possible. Please note, you are responsible for your own travel and accommodations that come with participating in US Open PRIDE with Tennis4All.

 

Any additional logistics, details, or “need-to-knows” will be shared with attendees as we get closer to the event. In the meantime, if there are any questions, please contact Sam Smith at lewis.samuel15@gmail.com.

 

We hope everyone is as excited about this experience as we are, and a huge THANK YOU to the USTA and to the US Open for thinking of Tennis4All.

The Cliff Drysdale Tennis School, which runs the tennis camp, sometimes offers optional UTR tennis tournaments on Saturday afternoons and would be willing to run a tournament on Saturday, July 20 if there is interest from our group. Typically the tournaments are round robin singles with divisions, and other players in the area can enter (Link to their June 8 tournament) Participating in the tournament is completely optional. You could do tennis camp or the tournament or both! If you are potentially interested in the tournament, please reach out to Steve Backhaus at 617-470-6544 or stevebackhaus@outlook.com for more information.
