US Open National Playoffs (Wild Card berth to the US Open)

Ever dream of playing at the US Open in NYC?

Playing under the night lights at Ashe Stadium. Exchanging forehands and backhands against Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, or Novak Djokovic. This year that dream can actually be a reality for any man, woman, boy or girl who is 14 or over in the United States.

Update 6/2 Mid-Atlantic Section:
Here are some of the top players playing at College Park, MD (TCCP) June 2-5, 2012. We also still have some free week-long passes at the TCCP club for those interested.


The 3rd Annual US Open National Playoffs

Unlike the WSOP for Tournament Poker, there is no buy-in for the main draw here. A wild card must be earned at any 1 of 13 Sectional Qualifying Tournaments held at different cities around the country (see below).

The USTA announced that registration for all 13 US Open National Playoffs Sectional Qualifying Tournaments will open on Thursday, March 15. Players age 14 and older can register for singles competition and/or mixed doubles to earn a wild card spot into the main draw.​

French Open tickets for under 20 euros; plus other gifts from Paris


Nadal: Rome Champion

Congrats to Rafael Nadal for winning his 6th Masters' 1000 Rome Championship today! We're now 6 days away from the 2nd Grand Slam of 2012, the French Open.

Here are some Tennis-Bargain tips to see some great tennis in Paris. It's the weather's perfect in Europe during this time of the year!


Official French Open Gear and Gifts

Even without traveling to France, here are some cool souvenirs you can buy for any tennis friends and family:


How to See the French Open for 20 Euro's

If you're looking for a way to get into the French Open, see Rafa up close at the main stadium and get a ticket to a Grand Slam event for around 20 Euro's, here's how I did it a few years ago! The best time to see lots of the top players in action is this upcoming opening weekend, before any top seeds have been eliminated.


Children's day (May 26, 2012)

The Roland Garros children's day, formerly known as Benny Berthet Day, was first held back in 1977 and is a highly enjoyable event which raises money for good causes. This year it will be held on 26 May. Top players who will be at the tournament take part in one-set exhibition matches on the three show courts (Philippe Chatrier, Suzanne Lenglen and No.1). It is very much a dress rehearsal, with umpires and ball-kids, and it is a wonderful opportunity for fans to come and watch their favorite players whilst helping those less fortunate at the same time.

ATP Penn Balls - 12 Cans of Heavy Duty Felt

Now sold in this smaller package of 12 Cans size, which is just half a case. It is the perfect amount of tennis balls for rec players at a great price! Especially for those who don't have a lot of storage space.
