USTA National Open Hard Court Championships

Information on the tournament

The National Open Hard Court Championships is a great tournament for all competitive players. Former Champion Jack Sock won the Men's Open Singles in 2010 and teamed with his brother Eric to win the doubles in 2011, and soon thereafter his career took off. 2017 Australian Open semifinalist CoCo Vandeweghe also played in the National Open before witnessing a meteoric rise in her ranking. Many serious juniors, high school, college players and touring pros participate as well as local and out of state competitive players, looking for some great matches and competitive play to test their skills. There are no restrictions and you are guaranteed two matches for each event you enter. The tournament has a first match consolation format for all events.

Guest Lecture for Tournament Players

Prior to the start of the National Open, Dr. Robert Soloway, who has a PhD from Emory University in Cognitive Psychology, will be here at BTC giving two different talks to interested players. He has trained children, and professional players. Dr. Soloway is the author of "Tennis in the New Age" and producer of the video, "Seeing the Ball." Conscious Tennis is a training technique that teaches athletes to concentrate and watch the ball. It results in greater consistency, more accuracy, and less stress. The first lecture titled, "Play Better Tomorrow," will be held at the BTC Clubhouse on Sunday, May 28 at 3:00 p.m. The follow up lecture titled, "Intention, Attention and Tension," will be held in the Clubhouse also on Thursday, June 1 at 7:00 p.m. Dr. Soloway's talks are fun, fascinating and helpful to players of all levels.
