A USTA Women’s Pro Circuit Event
Professional Women’s Tennis Returns to Metro Atlanta
Women’s professional tennis returns to metro Atlanta this September, as some of the top women professional tennis players in the world will be taking to the courts of Lifetime Athletic and Tennis Peachtree Corners for this $50,000 Women’s USTA Pro Circuit event. Players will compete in singles and doubles and a 32-woman qualifying event will start on Sunday, September 11, 2016. The finals are scheduled for Sept. 18.
Many players that will play in Peachtree Corners will be top-100 WTA players or have spent time in the top-100 in the world.
“We will have players who will have just competed on the biggest stage in tennis, the U.S. Open,” stated Tournament Director Turhan Berne. “No city plays and supports tennis like Atlanta does, and it’s been over five years since there has women’s professional tennis in the metro area.”
USTA Pro Circuit events typically are a “proving ground” for young players and a way of getting back inside the top 50 for many veteran competitors. Berne, an experienced tournament director, who runs the biggest local tennis events in Atlanta has a player’s party, clinic and ProAm planned for the week. USTA Pro Circuit events not only receive local and regional coverage and exposure, they garner national and international attention.
